Event Category:Book, Number, Graph: Getting Started with Text Analysis
March 31, 2025 10:00 am
How do you get from a stack of books to a graph reflecting what’s inside them? What gets in the way? What research questions does the process enable? This workshop introduces participants to some foundational principles, practices and challenges when working with textual data. No programming experience required. Attendees will use Voyant as a vehicle to explore text analysis, but the workshop will create an experience beyond this one tool. The workshop, hosted by the US Latino Digital Humanities Center (USLDH) on March 31 at 10:00 AM CDT, will discuss the affordances and limitations of Voyant as a vehicle for exploring the opportunities and challenges of working with textual data.

What People Say
“The individuals working on the editing of historical documents have different backgrounds, interests, and motivations. As such the results of a digital edition can change from project to project. I believe the technologies we choose need to be flexible in order to accommodate these needs. Content management systems like Drupal allow for editorial work and publication to happen in the same environment while also providing avenues for mapping techniques, charts, and the display of content from other resources. Technologies like Drupal allow editions to combine standards with project specific customizations that really help to tell the story desired by the ones working on the project.”
