Hello folks,
The Folger is inviting applications to Digital Rough Magic: Advancing the
Miranda Digital Asset Platform, Sept. 21-22, 2018.
This two-day workshop aims to bring together a variety of participants from
early modern studies, digital humanities, and libraries and archives for a
behind-the-scenes look at the Folger’s new digital asset platform, Miranda.
Participants will get a first-hand tour of Miranda and a chance to explore
its future development and potential outcomes. Conversations will be framed
in the context of current tools and the trajectory of digital scholarship
with a keen eye towards efficacy and practical use. Participants will
contribute to small, collaborative working groups and provide guidance to
the Folger for current and future development.
Applicants are invited to consider the role of platforms such as Miranda in
early modern studies and digital humanities from a variety of perspectives,
including but not limited to its ability to facilitate:
* Transcription and annotation (both of texts and images)
* Textual analysis
* Display and manipulation of Audiovisual materials
* Project management and support.
Applicants should mention specific area(s) of interest in their essays.
This workshop is jointly held by the Folger Digital Media & Publications
and Folger Institute divisions, and is generously supported through an
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grant for the construction of the Miranda
digital asset platform. Questions regarding the workshop or application
process can be directed to DigitalConf@folger.edu<mailto:
DigitalConf@folger.edu>.

questions.
Cheers,
Meaghan
