Join the Digital Humanities Workshop Series and explore how digital tools and methods can support and advance research.
In this workshop, we will go over some basic concepts of GenAI and explore some ways to integrate AI in digital humanities workflow. In particular, we will explore using open-weight and local LLM models to perform traditional Digital Humanities tasks, such as OCR and topic modeling, with the help of Codex and LM Studio.
Participants are encouraged to have Codex and LM Studio installed on their devices prior to the workshop.
Presenter: Yi Shan, East Asian Studies Liaison Librarian.

Researchers are increasingly under pressure to publish data at the end of a funding cycle and when research findings are released because of funder requirements. However, sharing data alone does not ensure reproducibility. Data must be properly documented and packaged so others can access, understand and reuse it.
In this virtual session, participants will learn best practices for publishing open data. Topics include:
- Using a documentation template
- Creating and managing file formats and codebooks
- Identifying appropriate data repositories and understanding what does and does not qualify as a repository
Location: Online
The When You Return: Digital Methods for Managing Your Research Archive participants will learn strategies and important considerations for organizing and working with digital and digitized research materials. We will address questions such as:
- How can you organize the digital or digitized materials that you collected in the course of your research?
- What are the best practices for managing such digital collections?
- Which digital methods would be most appropriate for your research question(s) and materials?
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own devices and any digital/digitized research materials that they have collected. This in-person workshop is intended for researchers (including, but not limited to, students, faculty, and staff) who are currently conducting research or who recently completed the research phase of their projects.
This workshop is the follow-up to the spring 2026 workshop, Before You Go: Preparing for Archival Research & Digitization. Participation in the past spring semester workshop is not required for attendance.
