The Humanities and Technology Camp is an open unconference where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot. Since its founding at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University in 2008, more than 105 THATCamps have been held in places all around the world, helping more than 6000 students, scholars, and professionals improve their skills in the digital humanities while meeting terrific, smart people from all kinds of fields and professions.
The sixth annual THATCamp CHNM (affectionately nicknamed “THATCamp Prime”) will take place June 7-8, 2013 at the Roy Center for History and New Media in Fairfax, VA, home of Omeka and Zotero. Spots are still available, and the whole event is free. At an unconference, the program is mostly created on the first day by the participants themselves, but pre-scheduled events include a Wikipedia editathon where participants edit Wikipedia, a manuscript transcribathon where participants transcribe and tag digital historical documents, and workshops on topics such as how to use JSTOR Data for Research to analyze a massive archive of scholarly journal articles. A Maker Challenge will offer THATCamp CHNM participants prizes such as an iPad Mini for an original project begun that weekend.
Register now while space is still available. Everyone is welcome, and THATCamp is notoriously fun, productive, and collegial. Visit http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org for more information or write Dr. Amanda French at info@thatcamp.org.
WKSP: Fall 2010 OHMAR (Oral History in the Mid-Atlantic Region)
Workshop – Nov. 4, 2010 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA)
Oral History in the Mid-Atlantic Region’s Fall Workshop: Conducting
and Preserving Oral Histories
Oral History in the Mid-Atlantic Region (OHMAR) announces its Fall
2010 Workshops to be held on 4 November 2010 at the Chemical Heritage
Foundation (http://www.chemheritage.org) in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. *There will be two sessions, one held in the morning and
one in the afternoon. *
*Morning: “An Introduction to Oral History” with David J. Caruso.
*Oral history is a research method and an innovative tool for
recording and promoting the understanding of contemporary history; it
provides invaluable access to the knowledge, experiences, and
motivations of people, in their own words. Learners in this workshop
will discover the fundamental concepts of developing an oral history
project and the interview process. By the end of the workshop,
participants will know about subject selection, interview preparation,
equipment usage, and how to conduct interviews. Additionally, they
will be able to explain the principles of oral history processing and
preservation.
*Afternoon: “An Introduction to Audio Preservation” with Cassandra
Gallegos (Safe Sound Archive). *This workshop will provide an overview
of the basics of audio preservation including the different types of
analog audio recordings, how to assess the condition of your
collection and environmental risks. Discussions will include the
proper handling, storage, cleaning, packaging and playback equipment
maintenance for audio recordings. Additionally, there will be a review
of the guidelines and best practices for digital preservation.
If you have any questions about these workshops, please contact David
J. Caruso, Program Manager, Oral History, Chemical Heritage Foundation
