Join Jessica DeSpain for a two-session workshop on using the Recovery Hub Editorial Framework to launch a small-scale digital project.
Digital scholarly editing can be daunting! There are any number of questions about a project’s scholarly aims and underpinnings not to mention technical considerations. Perhaps you would like to recover a handful of poems or edit a collection of short stories. Projects like these do not require mastering a content management system or learning a complex encoding language to be useful to an audience or to be sustainable for the long term. In this closed, two-session workshop, participants will learn how to edit and display a micro edition.
During two virtual sessions on September 9 and September 16 from 2:30-4:00 pm Central, workshop leaders will lead participants in a discussion of scholarly and technical questions to consider in relationship to their projects. They will teach the group how to use Markdown and edit their sample transcription. Each member of the workshop will leave with their sample transcription displayed using the Recovery Hub’s editorial framework. All attendees will need to sign up for a GitHub account prior to participation; once you register, we will send more information on how to get set up! We also ask that you bring a transcription with you so you will have material to work with during the workshop.
