March 25, 2025 12:00 pm – 12:15 pm EDT
Host
Digital editions are an important tool for literary scholars and historians. However, they can be difficult to mount without technical staff and support. In this video from Performant Software Solutions, Nick Laiacona demonstrates how to go from a set of page images to a functioning online digital edition. Using FairCopy and EditionCrafter, Laiacona introduces a workflow for organizing, editing, and publishing a digital edition. Both of these tools were purpose built by Performant for digital humanities scholars to create digital editions.
