About
HTRC is hosting its third annual HTRC UnCamp in March 2015 at the University of Michigan. The UnCamp is part hands-on coding and demonstration, part inspirational use-cases, part community building, and a part informational, all structured in the dynamic setting of an un-conference programming format. It has visionary speakers mixed with boot-camp activities and hands-on sessions with HTRC infrastructure and tools.
Who should attend? The HTRC UnCamp is targeted to tool developers, researchers, librarians and graduate students in digital humanities. This event will be especially of interest to attendees from HathiTrust member institutions, but UnCamp will be valuable for all attendees, and individuals from any background are encouraged to attend. Attendees will be asked for their input in planning sessions, so please plan to register early!
Registration
UnCamp has sold out, and registration is now closed.
