Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School

Dr Andrew Cusworth (University of Oxford)

What happens when archives become digital? How are digital archives made? Who does it? Where do they do it? And why?

In the course of addressing some of these questions, this strand will help its participants to frame and negotiate some of the major considerations in making and working with digital and digitalised archives. Through practical sessions and theoretical discussions, participants will gain insight into the possibilities and challenges presented by digital archives and working with cultural heritage materials digitally.
