  7. Nickoal Eichmann-Kalwara Assistant Professor, Digital Scholarship LibrarianUniversity of Colorado Boulder University Libraries Center for Research Data & Digital Scholarship nickoal.eichmann@colorado.edu @NickoalEichmann Exploring Primary Sources with Computational Methods

  8. Supporting Digital Scholarship Methods Curricular Support • Assignment- Based • In-Class Activity • Course Projects Research Support • Computational Social Science • Digital Humanities

  9. Text Analysis

  10. Text Analysis Large-scale computational analysis of digital corpora Uses • Conduct “distant readings” and look for linguistic/thematic patterns • Show relationships across texts in a robust manner • Structurally compare texts and corpora Skills • Work with large quantities of text • Quickly find patterns for analysis

  11. Text Analysis Tools • Voyant Tools: Web-based text mining tool with integrated visualizations • Antconc: Desktop text mining tool • MALLET: Topic modelling tool, the standard for all others • Sketch Engine: Online text mining tool with preassembled corpora • R Studio: Development environment for R, text mining • DataBasic: Web-based tool for comparing documents and basic text analysis

  12. Mapping

  13. Mapping Engage in fictional and real maps to explore role of time and space Uses • Overlay historical maps on contemporary ones • Trace phenomena across space (and time) • Uncover the physical, historical, and visual networks underlying a text • Create a map based on a literary text Skills • Recognize spatial and geographical patterns • Convey complex ideas in the visual format of an interactive map

  14. Mapping Tools • Google My Maps: Plot things on simple maps • ArcGIS Online: Create simple and complex maps, import GIS data • Palladio: Analyze relationships/networks across time and geography • Knightlab StoryMapJS and TimeMapper: Tell stories about a map with interactive timelines using Google Sheets • Esri StoryMaps: Incorporate GIS data and multimedia for long-form interactive storytelling • History Pin: Building collections of pins for a particular place, annotated with text and media

  15. Digital Storytelling

  16. Digital Storytelling Tell a unique story using archival materials, images, or present knowledge and evidence on a topic in interactive forms. Uses • Curate and present digital archives and exhibits • Create digital editions • Tell non-linear stories Skills • Build public scholarship skills • Build information organization and content management skills • Foster creativity

  17. Storytelling Tools • Omeka: Build exhibits from archival materials, tell stories about collections of documents, create database of sources • Scalar: Write long-form, born-digital scholarship; assemble multimedia and juxtapose them with text, using minimal technical expertise • Twine: Tell interactive, nonlinear stories, e.g. choose your own adventure (ex.) • Wikipedia: Write evidence-based scholarship for the world • Nodegoat: Create, visualize, and share network data with spatial and chronological contexts

  18. Skilling Up

  19. Learning and Teaching Resources • Teachdh.com: • Companion to Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom • Alan Liu’s DH Toy Chest • http://dhresourcesforprojectbuilding.pbworks.com • TAPoR: • http://tapor.ca/home • Programming Historian: • https://programminghistorian.org/ • Geospatial Historian: • https://geospatialhistorian.wordpress.com/ • MiriamPosner.com: • Blog and tutorials from Dr. Miriam Posner (UCLA)
