Hi, everyone! I would love to co-host (any want to join me?) a session demoing various data sources and mining methods for work in the digital humanities. I think this would be a great complement to sessions that explore various tools for DH.
After all, once you master the tools, where and how do you get your data?!
Discussion around:
- Sources attendees have used in the past
- Ideas for new sources
- Demos of how to use these methods
- Anything else related to DH data sourcing, mining, collecting, etc.
Looking forward to learning with you all!

I would love a session on this. Data sourcing/mining is always a big question mark in any idea I have. I would love to see how others approach it.
Hi. My name is Margaret Ericson, Arts Librarian at Colby College. Maybe this is really basic, but I would like to know if others have established a “Best Practices” framework for digital humanities art projects. This relates to Project Management, but really is a product emanating from successful projects, in terms of practices.
I would like to know what software or hosting platforms work better for art DH content. What’s a good “getting started platform”. How does one manage image rights/copyright for public web content. Is it out on the website for view, or documented in some other way.
I am interested in mapping applications and also knowing more about how to use digitized texts as data.
Thanks.
Hi, Margaret! The first part of your comment about platforms and tools, may be more in like with the post: Idea: Exploring Collection Data?. The second part, about using digitized texts as data, is more what I had in mind for this data sourcing panel. Would you be interested in sharing the ways you create/find/use digitized texts if this panel is accepted?
