SUMMARY:An Introduction to the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:On March 18 at 1:00 PM EDT\, eLabs will host a webinar that invites researchers to explore questions around the environmental impact of digital humanities work. The session draws on the approaches and resources developed by the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition (DHCC)\, a collaborative and cross-institutional initiative focused on understanding and minimizing the environmental impact of digital humanities research. Among their resources is a toolkit designed to help individuals and organizations make informed digital choices and support the development of more sustainable research projects. \n\n\n\nLed by Christopher Ohge\, eLabs advisory board member and a member of the DHCC\, this webinar will provide guidance on how to implement the toolkit in research projects. The session will open with an introduction of the DHCC\, providing background and context on the activities the coalition has supported in universities\, libraries\, and archives. It will then touch upon several areas in the toolkit\, including: \n\n\n\n\nMinimal Computing: explores how we can reduce the carbon footprint of our digital practices. \n\n\n\nMaximal Computing: examines computationally intensive digital tools such as Machine Learning\, and offers perspectives on when these might be justifiable. \n\n\n\nGrant Writing: includes recommendations on designing (or redesigning) research projects\, including Data Management Plans.\n\n\n\nWorking Practices: offers guidance on reducing energy consumption in your day-to-day working life\, including communication and shared working\, travel\, and publishing and preserving data. \n\n\n\nAdvocating within your Institution: offers tips on how to go beyond individual or project-level sustainability. \n\n\n\n\nThe toolkit is designed to encourage researchers to adopt climate-responsible research practices. It aims to empower them to make climate-friendly technological decisions\, and to support researchers who lack the practical knowledge about how to devise greener initiatives. As such\, the toolkit (and this webinar) aims to raise awareness and provide practical tips on planning and management of one’s research infrastructure and data. Staff members\, students and fellows will learn how to approach and improve their research design and implementation\, as well as digital work more broadly. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this event will be recorded. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter(s)\n\n\n\nChristopher Ohge is Senior Lecturer in Digital Approaches to Literature at the School of Advanced Study\, University of London. He has also served as a core faculty member for eLaboratories\, working on the Fundamentals of Editing courses (formerly known as the Institute for Editing Historical Documents\, or “Camp Edit”). Since 2018 he has also taught editing and book history courses on the London Rare Books School. He serves as the Associate Director of the Melville Electronic Library and an Associate Editor for Melville’s Marginalia Online. Before moving to London\, he served as an associate editor at the Mark Twain Papers & Project at the University of California\, Berkeley. He has held postdoctoral fellowships and taught at the University of Maine\, Boston University\, and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. The author of the recent book Publishing Scholarly Editions: Archives\, Computing\, and Experience (Cambridge University Press\, 2021)\, he has also published work in Textual Cultures\, Scholarly Editing\, Essays in Criticism\, American Literary History\, Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies\, and in several edited collections.

SUMMARY:SNACSchool Create and Edit
DESCRIPTION:SNACSchool Create and Edit\, a virtual event to be held February 25\, 1:00–5:00 PM EST\, is a multi-module course geared towards those interested in editing in SNAC. Some archival research training or experience is recommended before taking this class\, and you can find helpful videos on this webpage (https://portal.snaccooperative.org/snacschool-resources)! Previously recorded sessions and PDFs of slide decks are also available to revisit steps and refresh your memory. \n\n\n\nThe SNACSchool event series is part of a Mellon funded grant in which we are unveiling SNACSchool 5.0 and will be employing Indigenous methodologies to create an Indigenous centered version of SNACSchool. The structure has been revamped and shortened\, and we have made many aspects of SNACSchool asynchronous and are hoping to develop a fully asynchronous version of SNACSchool as well. \n\n\n\nFor more information about the SNACSchool spring 2026 catalog of events\, please refer to this flyer (https://elaboratories.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SNACSchool-2026-Catalog-Flyer.pdf) or visit the SNACSchool webpage at https://portal.snaccooperative.org/snacschool. \n\n\n\nAdditional Information\n\n\n\n\nYou do not need a SNAC membership to attend SNACSchool.\n\n\n\n\n\nYou do need your own electronic device with internet access and web conferencing software to attend this particular event.\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are planning to record these particular SNACSchool sessions for future developments and improvements to the SNACSchool program.

SUMMARY:Promise and Peril: Generative AI in Digital Scholarly Editing
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is rapidly becoming integral to digital scholarly editing workflows\, as demonstrated by diverse initiatives from the digital humanities\, including workshops by the Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) at the last two annual DH conferences. Large Language Models offer considerable potential across the editorial pipeline—from conversion processes\, text annotation\, named entity recognition\, normalization\, and translation\, extending to application development and visualization. However\, their non-deterministic nature fundamentally shifts editorial work. This requires expert-in-the-loop approaches to maintain scholarly rigor while ensuring these technologies supplement rather than replace thorough methodology and scholars’ interpretive work. Their implementation requires critical engagement with environmental factors\, legal questions regarding the legitimate use of training data\, and considerations of ethics and scholarly integrity concerning reproducibility and transparency.  \n\n\n\nOn June 25 at 11:00 EDT\, Animating Text Newcastle University will host Dr. Martina Scholger (University of Graz) for a presentation on the applicability of generative AI in digital editing workflows and the resulting transformation of editorial processes as seen with long-established digital edition projects at the University of Graz’s Department of Digital Humanities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nMartina Scholger is a senior scientist at the Department of Digital Humanities\, University of Graz\, where her research focuses on digital scholarly editing\, text encoding\, text mining\, and LLM applications. She completed her PhD in Digital Humanities in 2018 with a thesis on digital editing of artists’ notebooks. She is currently co-principal investigator of the joint FWF and DFG project Early Manila Hokkien (2024-2026)\, and is involved in developing a digital edition of Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall’s correspondence\, as well as the Visual Archive Southeastern Europe\, and Picturing Migrants’ Lives projects. Scholger has served as an elected member of the TEI Technical Council since 2016\, has been a member of the Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing since 2012\, and is managing editor of RIDE (Review Journal for Scholarly Digital Editions and Resources).

SUMMARY:Data Processing with AI for Cultural Heritage Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Images are a fundamental vehicle for the dissemination of cultural heritage\, however until recently it has been very expensive and very error-prone to try to have machines understand those images in a meaningful way. With the introduction of vision-language models\, there is a reasonably accurate and affordable method for machines to assist catalogers\, archivists\, curators\, and researchers in mediating between image\, data\, and query. This presentation shows how Yale University is using AI in three different areas for cultural heritage: to extract information from images\, to find and ameliorate errors and suggest improvements to data\, and to translate user needs in natural language into system queries. \n\n\n\nJoin FromThePage on July 10\, 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT for a presentation about AI in cultural heritage research from Robert Sanderson. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nRobert Sanderson works across Yale’s museums\, libraries and archives to ensure digital knowledge and processing is both connected and consistent. He is the technical architect and leader for LUX\, Yale’s cross-collection discovery platform built using the Linked Open Usable Data paradigm and technologies. He is on Yale’s AI Advisory Board\, and has worked at the intersection of cultural heritage and information science / AI for much of his career. He is chair of the Linked Art working group in ICOM\, long-standing editor for the IIIF specifications\, and has been co-chair and editor of foundational W3C specifications. He has previously worked for the J. Paul Getty Trust\, Stanford University\, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

SUMMARY:UCLA California Rare Book School's Queer Bibliography Conference
DESCRIPTION:UCLA California Rare Book School is pleased to host the second annual Queer Bibliography conference\, with virtual sessions to be held between July 25-26\, 2024. Queer Bibliography makes explicit the connections between queer theories and methodologies and the multifaceted field of bibliography. This year’s conference will focus on CalRBS’s 2024 theme “Borders\, Boundaries\, and Margins.” \n\n\n\nBibliography is implicitly concerned with notions of space and situatedness: from letters on a page\, to the print-shop\, to books in circulation. Much queer print culture is concerned with producing spaces for people and information to circulate\, and is often explicitly framed as such. Queer bibliography\, therefore\, is particularly attuned to questions of space\, from the intimacy with which print mediates individual identities\, to the production and reproduction of communities. It invites consideration of the affordances of liminal spaces created by the materiality of printed texts\, as well as the marginal spaces in which texts themselves are created.  \n\n\n\nThis conference explores how the theories and practices of queer bibliography inhabit areas of liminality and in-betweenness\, and will interrogate how queer orientations and approaches can reshape the cartography of bibliography and its allied areas of inquiry. Presentations will delve into the ways in which queer bibliography navigates and challenges traditional boundaries\, be they geographical\, disciplinary\, institutional\, methodological\, or conceptual. How might we queer bibliography to reshape the classification of texts\, to interrogate the materiality of textual bodies\, to examine margins as both enclosing and unbounding\, or to emphasize the centrality of affect in histories or reading and in bibliographical methodologies? Additionally\, how might queer bibliography help us push against or question traditional bibliographical practices in archives\, book arts studios\, bookstores\, classrooms\, libraries\, and museums? And finally\, what role does queer bibliography play in shaping community engagement and activist work through textual and material forms? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing

SUMMARY:Unlocking the U.S. Department of State's "Consular Cards": Experimenting with AI Transcription of Handwritten Historical Documents (A Webinar with FromThePage)
DESCRIPTION:Do today’s latest “AI” models offer capabilities not possible with traditional OCR\, for unlocking documents whose handwritten contexts were impenetrable with previous technologies? A decade ago\, the Office of the Historian scanned its “Consular Cards file”\, a collection of 6\,500 handwritten index cards containing listings of officials at all U.S. diplomatic and consular posts from 1789-1960. A unique and foundational source for understanding the history of U.S. foreign relations\, the utility of the scanned cards remained limited due to OCR’s inability to extract text from the ornate cursive handwriting on these cards. Experiments conducted this year with multimodal AI tools have produced breakthrough\, if imperfect\, results. The talk will demonstrate the methodology and results of these experiments and will offer tips and caveats for scholars considering such tools. \n\n\n\nThe webinar\, which is hosted by FromThePage\, will be held on July 25\, 2024 at 12:00 PM EDT / 11:00 AM CDT / 9:00 AM PDT. Signing up will send you an invitation with the details and a follow up with the recording. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\nJoseph C. Wicentowski is the Digital History Advisor at the Office of the Historian\, Foreign Service Institute\, U.S. Department of State. After completing his Ph.D. in modern Chinese history at Harvard University in 2007\, he joined the Office of the Historian and led the project to digitize the Foreign Relations of the United States(FRUS) series—a 160 year-old documentary edition comprising over 550 volumes and 300\,000 documents—and make it and other historical publications and datasets available as open access publications on the Office’s public website\, history.state.gov\, and via open government data repositories on github.com/HistoryAtState. With Clifford Anderson\, he co-authored XQuery for Humanists (Texas A&M University Press\, 2020)\, a book that emerged from his experience learning XQuery to build scholarly interfaces to historical texts and teaching the language to others.

SUMMARY:DEFCON Speaker Series: Latina/o/e Digital Humanities as Places of Joy and Querencia for Students
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium’s (DEFCON) speaker series\, DEFCON Fellow Dr. Elena Foulis will present “Latina/o/e Digital Humanities as Places of Joy and Querencia for Students.” \n\n\n\nThis presentation argues for the need to center Latina/o/e DH projects on students’ own cultural\, community (Yosso\, 2005)\, and linguistic wealth. Dr. Foulis describes the development of student projects that pay attention to the process of constructing\, engaging\, and critically reflecting on our personal commitments to build accessible\, multilingual archives that center on the community’s knowledge. Latina/o/e DH allows us to reflect on how ourselves and our communities can be best represented\, highlighting different ways of knowing as we develop projects\, in particular at Hispanic Serving Institutions. Dr. Foulis will draw from Moya Bailey’s work (2015)\, to prepare students to think about three main components: connection\, creation\, and transformation\, and how she implemented it into a course on Latina/o/e DH and oral history. She will feature one project that included oral histories of undocumented/DACA immigrants that culminated into a podcast production that describes the results\, along with sound bites from the interviews to illustrate participants’ perspectives. Along with the podcast\, a bilingual digital archive was built to provide the results for this project\, including a timeline\, story map and transcripts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing
