Description:
This workshop serves as an introduction to the Advanced Research Consortium (ARC), a vibrant community of researchers who peer review and curate digital cultural heritage materials for humanities research. It will cover using ARC’s existing resources for scholarly research, developing and integrating new digital humanities projects into ARC, using ARC’s Corpora Dataset Studio, and building new research nodes under the ARC umbrella.
Aim of the workshop/tutorial:
This workshop will familiarize attendees with the Advanced Research Consortium and its research tools, including the Corpora Dataset Studio. The workshop teaches researchers how to use ARC to enhance their research through searching both open access and proprietary resources curated by field experts. Additionally, the workshop previews the Corpora Dataset Studio for researchers interested in developing their own digital projects. Next, the workshop familiarizes researchers with the process of submitting their own projects or datasets for peer review and inclusion in ARC. Finally, the workshop discusses the process for creating research nodes within ARC to serve specific research communities.
