Description
This workshop will explore how digitization transformed the potential uses for the Newberry Library's collection of 38,000 early modern French pamphlets by focusing on the Early Modern French Pamphlets Digital Initiative, a digital resource for research and pedagogy. Participants will learn about the creation of this resource and its potential uses for digital research, undergraduate instruction, and public-facing academic work. Through discussions, presentations, and hands-on work with pamphlets, we will consider the implications of materiality in digitization and explore how the digital humanities can be used to bring early modern history to new audiences. Knowledge of French is not required.
