humanities computing

What are the issues that researchers in the Humanities face when compiling data, and how can technology help or hinder? The workshop will look at the ways in which humanities researchers build, maintain, and preserve databases, along with the processes currently in place to support such activities. It will consider what tools could be developed to support the creation and use of research data, how data from different sources might be linked, and, where relevant, the role that public or private cloud services might play.

The University of Alberta Humanities Computing Graduate Conference is an opportunity for professors, students, and researchers to come together and share ideas from the broad range of disciplines which inform humanities computing scholarship. This year's
