It’s the last days of @dataculture.bsky.social at the Turing, wrapping up Living w/Machines data releases & papers. We’ve had the honor of working w/brilliant colleagues & are sad to say goodbye. @ruthahnert.bsky.social @danielwilson.bsky.social @davidbeavan.bsky.social @fedenanni.bsky.social

Just in time for the final day of the @dataculture.bsky.social project, our experimental article, ‘Reading Maps at a Distance’ is published (OA) in Imago Mundi: doi.org/10.1080/0308..., which was a blast to write with @kmcdono.bsky.social, Kaspar Beelen and Rosie Wood… #dh 🗃️ 1/2

Are you an #RSE who wants to work on humanities/arts research? Are you an academic in the humanities/arts thinking about computational methods? These reports are for you! Brought to you by @dataculture.bsky.social @davidbeavan.bsky.social @andrepiza.bsky.social & many more!

Great crowd for Open Maps Meeting day 1 today. So much enthusiasm for thinking about how we can work computationally with maps using open research principles. Big focus on annotations as the element linking different ways of enriching digitised map collections.

The next MapReader community call is this Thursday 4-5pm UK time - details at mapreader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/co... 🎃🗺️👻

Job ad for RA in Computational Environmental History now live! hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx... Join the MapReader team + 2 UK National Parks + NLS for a short-term collaborative experience: 5 months at 60%. Residency in UK required, but not in Lancaster. ***Closes Oct 14 - don't delay!!

The ADS has just announced the launch of the Heritage Science Data Service, providing digital research services for data preservation & re-use of UK heritage science data. ow.ly/k5Rg50TzlSg There are also 8 new roles (& more to come). An exciting time for #HeritageScience #DigitalPreservation 🏺

🥳 We're a little late to the party, but better late than never: Thrilled to announce that the Stanford Literary Lab now has a Bluesky account! Stay tuned for news about our ongoing projects and lab activities! #DigitalHumanities #CLS #DigitalLiteraryStudies #Fiction #LitLab

Upcoming MapReader Community Calls for fall and winter are all posted on the docs! This month (on Oct 31 🎃), we'll be focusing on issues around annotation: - what tools for annotating maps? - what standards? - human vs synthetic training data? mapreader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/co...

The next MapReader Community Call will be Sept 5 (4pm UK) - sign up here! mapreader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/co...

🗃️ Applications now open for the final 2024 Data/Culture workshop on big historical newspaper & maps data + tools. Sept 30-Oct 2 2024 in London & (partially) online. forms.office.com/e/4h6sfLfuE3 www.turing.ac.uk/events/autum... For historians & historically-minded colleagues & students!

Interested in digital historical research like this? Come to our autumn workshop to learn about some of the tools behind the work, and how you can use them too! www.turing.ac.uk/events/autum...

Data/Culture is a new iDAH AHRC-funded project based at The Alan Turing Institute. We're excited to finally be on here! www.turing.ac.uk/research/res...

Are you interested in learning about: - doing digital history with British newspapers & maps? - thinking about what it means for historians to re-use data & research software? - how to do open & reproducible historical research? Join us for our final 2024 workshop 30 Sept-2 Oct in London.

Who is Data/Culture? We are: @pieterfrancois.bsky.social @ruthahnert.bsky.social @danielwilson.bsky.social @andrepiza.bsky.social @davidbeavan.bsky.social @kallewesterling.bsky.social @fedenanni.bsky.social @kmcdono.bsky.social + Rosie Wood, Tim Hobson, Ed Chalstrey.

The ‘Data/Culture’ team is on the road this week! We're delivering our summer workshop in Lancaster, building sustainable community around software and humanities data with a three-day extravaganza working computationally with newspaper and map data. www.turing.ac.uk/events/summe...
