Upcoming Workshops
The Managing Data with Relational Databases & SQL [Data & Donuts Workshop] will provide an introduction to using SQL (Structured Query Language) to store and manage data in open source relational databases like MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
Gaining familiarity with SQL can help researchers better manage large datasets, construct detailed data queries that can be shared with open source research code, and utilize SQL dependent filtering functionality in open source applications like QGIS software.
Donuts will be available for in-person attendees!

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.
