This is an intensive training workshop in the use of EpiDoc (https://epidoc.stoa.org/), the de facto standard for encoding ancient epigraphic and papyrological editions in TEI XML for online publication and interchange. On the first and second day the workshop will introduce the encoding of ancient texts and objects in XML, and sources of information and support on EpiDoc.
On the third day, the workshop will focus on the integration of EpiDoc in teaching and pedagogy, in the context of Digital Humanities, Classics, History, and Archaeology modules. No technical knowledge is required, but participants should have some background in epigraphy or working with historical material.
Who is the intended audience, and what will I need to attend?
We welcome anyone, including Post-graduates, Post-docs, ECRs, Teaching/Research Staff, and heritage professionals.
No technical knowledge is required, but participants are expected to bring their own laptop. Workshop leaders will share materials ahead of time for participants to familiarize themselves with the topics.
April 22-23 will be an introductory session and practice with EpiDoc, and April 24 will focus on using EpiDoc in teaching. Participants are welcome to apply for both events or for either event. You will be asked for a preference on the registration form.
Filling in a form on our Eventbrite site is an application to attend, not a guarantee of a place on the course. The deadline for applications is Friday 3 April.
