Digital Workshop: Keywords for Black Louisiana

Description

Join the Sheridan Libraries to learn how the digital team behind Keywords for Black Louisiana is building terminology and metadata for finding Black life in Louisiana's earliest archival records.

The digital workshop kicks off a day-long celebration of research and Black/Indigenous solidarities presented by the Department of History in partnership with the Diaspora Solidarities Lab, LifexCode: Digital Humanities Against Enclosure, and the Center for Africana Studies. The day will culminate with Elizabeth Ellis, associate professor of history at Princeton University, delivering the Harrison Lecture titled "Many Small Nations: Black, Indigenous, and Black/Indigenous History."

This is a hybrid event; to attend virtually, please register via Zoom.
