SUMMARY:Camp eLabs
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for a workshop environment to begin planning your digital edition or archive? Join eLaboratories from August 3–6\, 2026 in Charlottesville\, VA for our introductory workshop\, followed by our conference activities on August 7–9. \n\n\n\nTaught collaboratively by Katie Blizzard\, Christopher Ohge\, and Serenity Sutherland\, this workshop will explore all aspects of conceptualizing\, planning for\, and creating digital projects that aim to make historical or literary source materials more accessible and discoverable. It provides a basic introduction to the editing practices available to preparing materials for digital publication and a survey of the many digital tools available to serve project goals. Framing these discussions\, the workshop will consider how end-users will want to approach the particular digital project. Attendees also will learn how a project’s design—such as methodology\, planned outcomes\, and collaborations—can advance community perspectives and interests. By keeping these users and stakeholders in mind\, practitioners are better able to develop effective editorial strategies that will result in a dynamic\, thoughtful and usable digital archive or edition. \n\n\n\nIn this course\, participants will engage in hands-on learning and group discussions related to project conceptualization\, editorial policies and processes\, and the selection and use of digital tools that can serve the needs of their users. Participants are encouraged to bring a few samples of the materials they are working with for use during the practical exercises\, though samples will also be provided. The goal is for participants to return to their home institutions ready and able to build upon\, enhance\, and transform these initial ideas into robust digital projects. \n\n\n\nThis course is ideal for beginners with a project already in mind. We also welcome any individuals who are simply interested in expanding their skill set by learning about editorial practices.  \n\n\n\nInterested individuals are asked to apply for the workshop by completing this form by June 26. Candidates will be notified of their acceptance by July 10. Thanks to generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, travel and lodging for accepted applicants will be covered for workshop and the conference activities that follow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Location \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\nKatie Blizzard is the Managing Director of eLaboratories and a senior research editor at the Center for Digital Editing\, where she supports the editorial practices of community and partner projects.
