Digital Humanities: Cultures of Knowledge and the Newton Project

Culture of Knowledge project
Early Modern Letters Online [EMLO: http://emlo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/home], which has been developed by the Cultures of Knowledge research project [http://www.culturesofknowledge.org], is a union catalogue of sixteenth-, seventeenth-, and eighteenth-century correspondence. Students will be introduced to the platform and to a selection of management tools designed to collate, structure, and interrogate the metadata of hitherto scattered correspondence.

Newton Project
Professor Iliffe will introduce students to the history and nature of Open Access digital editions, and discuss the Newton Project, past, present, and future. This will include a glimpse of more basic and more complex coding.
