Digital Humanities and Archival Design

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course concentrates on doing archival research, and then building websites that organize and present the results of that research in interactive digital formats. One of the hallmarks of digital humanities is its capacity to make rare source material accessible to a broad audience in ways that simultaneously offer conceptual structure, critical analysis, and user flexibility. By teaching students how to manage traditional primary sources and transform them into dynamic digital archives, this course will offer a dual training in conducting scholarly research and designing digital projects.
