Berkeley Digital Humanities Working Group

Digital technologies, digitized data, and computational methods are expanding the capacity for social scientists and humanists to do quantitative data analysis, but these methods are also changing the way we to qualitative and interpretive analysis. These two talks will explore ways digital technologies and computational methods can be integrated into qualitative and interpretive projects in the social sciences and humanities. 

In his talk at Doe Library, Zach Bleemer will discuss how he has used data science - thousands of computer-processed versions of annual registers, directories, and catalogs -  to reconstruct a near-complete database of all students, faculty, and courses at four-year universities in California in the first half of the 20th century, including the UC system.

The Digital Humanities Faire is a time for the vibrant, interdisciplinary DH community at Berkeley to gather, share our work, and learn from each other. Learn more about other DH Faire festivities.

Researchers from a variety of disciplines will present their current research at the Morrison Library. The poster session is an excellent opportunity for early stage researchers to get feedback from a supportive community of peers.

Refreshments will be served.

This panel will highlight librarian and library staff support of past and present DH projects, including digital publication, database development, geographic information systems (GIS) and electronic literature projects. See other DH Faire festivities from April 11 - 13.
