We have two concurrent workshops this year: "Digital Sustainability and Preservation in Digital Archives Projects,” led by Dr. Constance Crompton (Canada Research Chair in Digital Humanities, University of Ottawa) and Meghan Landry (ACENET); and "Introduction to Databases for Humanist Data,” led by Dr. Jon Bath (Associate Professor of Art and Art History, University of Saskatchewan).

Dr. Stacey Allison-Cassin (Dalhousie University), will offer the keynote talk: “Reflections on Ethics and Justice in Metadata in the Age of AI.”

We also invite you to join for our aligned event, “Explore the World of Gaelic Song and Digital Archives!”, organized by Dr. Heather Sparling (Cape Breton University), which will take place on 9-10 May.
