Today's Goals

Foundations of DH

What's next?

Roundtable

  • Research and analysis : how you find, analyze, and process your resources
     

  • Publication : how you share your research with the public
     
  • Building community : how to connect with or incorporate people into your research

How does DH fit into our work?

Build with intention

  • Ask why: What are the project's main goals? How can digital tools help you achieve those?

Do no harm

  • Reflect on ethical impacts of sharing resources and stories on the web

Embrace failure

  • Ask yourself: is the solution troubleshooting, using a new tool or model, or going low or no tech?
