About the workshop
This workshop will bring together historians and research students with an interest in learning how digital collections are enhancing humanities research and can potentially transform the research they do, as well as those involved in creating digitised collections in the humanities.
The workshop aims to introduce researchers to key digital history resources, to showcase the research arising from these new resources, and to raise and discuss issues surrounding the use of digital resources for research and teaching.
