HumanitesData@UNC Fall 2023 Events

Humanities Data@UNC is a collection of faculty, librarians, and graduate students at UNC interested in exploring tools and methods of data collection and analysis in the humanities as well as exploring the powerful effects data have on society and culture. We understand humanities data emerging from traditional objects of analysis within the humanities, such as texts, material objects, artifacts, art, and sound. 

The Digital Literacy and Communications (DLC) Lab is working to cultivate this community by putting together this common list of events related to Humanities Data. The DLC lab serves as a hub for innovation in the humanities with a focus on digital humanities, critical games studies, digital literacy, and communications. Please contact us if you would like to add events to this list.

Past Events:

Humanities, Data, and Technology Workshop: An Introduction to Georeferencing using QGIS with Phil McDaniel. Digitized paper maps contain a wealth of historical information, incorporating these resources into a geographic information system (GIS) enhances scholars' ability to do historical research. This workshop will give a brief overview of QGIS, a free and open-source GIS, and provide a hands-on demonstration of georeferencing a variety of historical maps and images. Attendees will also learn how to derive new data layers from the georeferenced images. Resources will be provided for locating historical maps and images. This hands-on workshop will be held in person. Participants should download and instal QGIS prior to the workshop. Come to the workshop early if you need help. Wednesday, March 6, 2024 2:00-3:00 Davis Library Room 247
