Digital Humanities Data Curation is a series of workshops organized by\u00a0MITH<\/a>,\u00a0the\u00a0Women Writers Project (WWP)<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Brown University<\/a>, and the\u00a0Center for Informatics Research in Science and Scholarship (CIRSS)<\/a>\u00a0at GSLIS<\/a>. The workshop series is generously\u00a0funded by an Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities<\/a> grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These three-day workshops will provide a strong introductory grounding in data curation concepts and practices, focusing on the special issues and challenges of data curation in the digital humanities. Learning will be largely case-based, supplemented by short lectures, guest presentations, and practical exercises.\u00a0Digital Humanities Data Curation is aimed at humanities researchers \u2014 whether traditional faculty or alternative (alt-ac) professionals \u2014 as well as librarians, archivists, cultural heritage specialists, other information professionals, and advanced graduate students. All participants will also have access to an online resource for sharing knowledge about data curation for the humanities. This resource will build on material from the existing\u00a0DH Curation Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Summer 2013 workshop is the first event in the series. Future workshops\u00a0will be held at Brown University and the University of Maryland in 2013-14.
