 Join the [Digital Scholarship Support Group](http://dssg.fas.harvard.edu/) (Academic Technology, Harvard Library, the History Department, and more) for the **Fundamentals of Digital Scholarship** workshop, a two–day seminar in the DSSG's [Foundations Series](https://dssg.fas.harvard.edu/initiatives/literacy/) that focuses on the core stages of digital scholarship’s research workflow: the acquisition, manipulation, visualization/analysis, and presentation of data.

 [](http://bit.ly/FDC-2018)This hands-on seminar is intended to serve as a springboard for faculty, students, and staff who wish to explore the potential of digital scholarship. Its sessions, which provide participants with the opportunity to work with real-world datasets that relate to the humanities and social sciences, will teach participants how to:

- Create digital datasets by mining online resources or digitizing paper materials,
- Effectively store and organize those datasets
- Prepare the data for analysis
- Use beginner-friendly visualization techniques to explore datasets, and
- Present the results in various formats on multiple platforms.

 The seminar will be held from 9am–2pm on October 24 and 25 in Lamont Library B-30. Lunch is provided both days.

 Feedback from previous seminar participants has been unanimously positive. "*This was excellent*," said one participant. "*All the lecture material was engaging, useful, succinct, clear and I liked how every speaker tied their piece into the overall concept.*" Another said, "*I liked the comprehensive and interlinking aspect of the workshops. It gave me a nice sense of a digital project from start to finish. All the presentations were easy to follow \[and\] engaging*." "*I now have a much better mental model of what is involved with digital scholarship*," said another participant, "*and feel ready to embark on my own project or guide others.*"
