Carrying out computational research with digital materials requires that both scholars and information professionals understand how to manage and curate data over its entire lifetime of interest. Participants will learn how to:
- Model humanities data for sustainable computational research
- Identify, assess, and mitigate risks to their data
- Evaluate tools and systems for working with data from a curatorial perspective
- Plan and implement data management during all phases of a project’s lifecycle
- Leverage data curation skills to improve scholarly publications, grant applications, and promotion dossiers
- Understand and stay current with the landscape of data curation research The Digital Humanities Data Curation Institute workshops are aimed at humanities researchers — whether traditional faculty or alternative (alt-ac) professionals — as well as librarians, archivists, other information professionals, and advanced graduate students.
