Digital Methods for Cultural Heritage

Friday, 8 January 2027 | Online | 1:30-3:00 PM

Discover computational methods for analysing cultural heritage collections, including text mining, GIS, network analysis and annotation, through practical examples from archives, libraries and museums.

This event is part of the DARIAH-CH Training Series 2026–2027, a new programme of online training sessions designed to introduce researchers to the methods, tools, and good practices that are shaping digital scholarship in the arts and humanities.

The series is aimed primarily at early-career researchers, doctoral candidates, master’s students, and anyone new to Digital Humanities who wishes to develop practical digital research skills. No prior technical knowledge is required.

Over eleven sessions, participants will explore fundamental topics in arts and digital humanities. The programme combines conceptual foundations with practical demonstrations and hands-on examples, enabling participants to understand both the underlying principles and their application to humanities research.

Each 90-minute online session consists of:

• 40 minutes of theoretical introduction,

• 30 minutes of practical demonstrations or hands-on activities,

• 20 minutes of questions and discussion.

To support continued learning, all sessions will be accompanied by Open Educational Resources (OER) that participants can consult after the training.

Participation is free but registration is required.
