[Commlist] Cultural Heritage Data School 2023 in Cambridge (Short Course)

Cultural Heritage Data School 2023 in Cambridge (Short Course) (17–18 April)


We are delighted to present a new format of the established Data Schools 
programme, organised by Cambridge Digital Humanities. For two days in 
Cambridge University, students will learn new methods and theories in 
Digital Humanities from leading academics and practitioners in the 
field. They will also have the possibility to visit the Library and some 
special collections at the University of Cambridge.


We aim to bring together participants from the wider Galleries, 
Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector and academia to explore 
the methods used to create, visualise and analyse digital archives and 
collections.


At the Data School you will learn by doing during in-person sessions and 
other activities. The school is intensive, but resources will be 
available to students to go over what they learned in the taught 
sessions. We encourage anyone working with cultural heritage data to apply!


Modules will cover the following content:

  * Principles of Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) 
Imaging
  * Digital Spaces
  * Working with digital images at scale
  * Machine vision – a critical introduction
  * Digital Research Design and the Project Lifecycle
  * Collecting and Wrangling Textual Data
  * Text Analysis and Visualisation

Students will learn from leading researchers working on projects at the 
forefront of tackling those issues, in practical ways as well as 
critically addressing theoretical assumptions about these practices, 
equipping them with tools, methods, and ideas to face the challenges 
GLAM institutions are facing in the ever-changing digital environment.


Participants will also have the opportunity to have horizontal 
discussions and networking with peers and researchers from Cambridge 
University.

We will visit the Digital Content Unit at Cambridge University Library, 
have hands-on exercises with teachers available on-site to help, and go 
out for dinner.


Applications will be considered on a first come first served basis until 
all the places are filled, so we encourage you to fill out your 
application as soon as possible. More information and registration in
