Class overview
This course is designed for attendees to learn close reading text analysis with bilingual (Spanish and English) newspapers, particularly from the Latinx communities in the United States since the 1800s, hosted in various digital repositories; create bilingual datasets and clean the data; select images from the newspapers and edit them; adapt these datasets for visualizations (mapping, timelines and networking) approaching it through time, space, cultural and historical contexts. We will use tools like Excel, Open Refine, Storymaps JS, Timeline JS, and GraphCommons.
This course is for beginners, who would like to learn how to visualize humanities data from archival primary sources. Participants do not need to have prior knowledge of programming.
