+Description from the [about page](https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/what-is-low-tech-magazine/): "Low-tech Magazine underscores the potential of past and often forgotten technologies and how they can inform sustainable energy practices."
+
+Low-tech Magazine's website was redesigned in 2018 to run on a self-hosted, solar-powered server. 
+Using the very limited energy supply required thoughtful design of the site assets, including a static web approach (first using [Pelican static site generator](https://getpelican.com/), now migrating to Hugo).
+Depending on weather and usage, the solar site can go offline if it runs out of power, highlighting the often overlooked energy consumption of websites.
+See [About the Solar Powered Website](https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/the-solar-website/) for more details and ideas.

+description: "An OER website for learning about static site generators for academic library projects." 
+project_creators: "@chrisdaaz"

+
+Build with Hugo and the Geekdocs theme, this OER provides lesson plan, bibliography, and learning resources to understand static web approaches for academic librarians.
+
+From the home page:
+
+"Websites for scholarly publications and digital scholarship are expected to be stable for long-term access, citation, and archiving. Static websites provide a durable and low-cost solution for making and distributing scholarly works.
+
+In library and academic contexts, static websites have been used for conference websites, digitization projects, archival metadata, academic journals, edited monographs, and open textbooks.
+
+These resources introduce this powerful technology for scholarly communications librarianship."

+The Historical Topographic Map Digitization Project was a large collaborative project to provide open access to a collection of digitized historic maps of Ontario. 
+The website was built using Hugo static generator.
+It used ImageMagick to generate map image derivatives and gdal2tiles to generate tile web map files for static access (see [processing scripts](https://github.com/jasonbrodeur/OCUL_HTDP)).
