Working Women of the East: A digital resource for exploring the Soviet Union through the lives of women on its periphery

Annotation Assignment

The covers of Truzhenitsa Vostoka are visually dense and rich sources of information while also serving as primary sources ripe for interrogation and analysis. By leveraging annotation, students can engage with the subjects of Truzhenitsa Vostoka guided by the images and semiotics found on the covers.

AnnotationsX enables students to ask questions, making observations, and bringing in connections to outside sources. 

Institutions that use Canvas can easily activate the AnnotationsX plugin and import the Truzhenitsa Vostoka covers. We recommend creating a demo which includes a few sample annotations. If you're a Harvard instructor, we're happy to join your course Canvas page as a librarian and set this assignment up for you, including our demo of an annotated Turkmenka (below). For non-Harvard instructors, please get in touch for assistance setting up your assignment.
