The Charles Brockden Brown archive www.brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/ aims to encode and make searchable some 984 primary texts using XTF xtf.cdlib.org/  and TEI P5 www.tei-c.org/index.xml  encoding standards.

In our session, we would like to talk about the meaning and function of “archives” and the kinds of issues we encountered in selecting, editing, coding, and rendering texts for a variety of users. The role of interface design and metadata use are of particular interest, along with more fully understanding how TEI encoding can be applied to such projects.

Our  talk would be based on a slide presentation given at the Sorbonne in Paris last fall, and updated to reflect more recent developments with the project’s interface.

SobekCM : Introduction to SobekCM’s for Collaborative Digital Humanities Projects & Make a Project with SobekCM is a proposed Teach and Make session.  The first part of the session will provide a quick introduction to the Open Source SobekCM  Digital Repository software which powers digital GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) as well as many digital scholarship and Digital Humanities projects and more!

The Make portion of the session will include registering for an account, creating a new project, and an applied overview of the tools for your project.  Participants are encouraged to bring materials for real projects and possible projects, and to have no projects – the Make portion of this session will be a great learning experience and great fun!
