Description
Following the October 2024 webinar “Medieval Women’s Networks: Exploring Tools and Techniques for Digital Analysis”, this workshop will explore how to extract information from premodern sources about women for use in digital environments. Through discussions, group work, and hands-on activities with Newberry collection items, participants will learn the steps needed to create transferable datasets and investigate possible applications for them. Doing so opens up collaborative possibilities and extends our knowledge of how to work with the information–at times oblique and messy– from the surviving material and documentary records of past women’s lives.
