Our fourth annual Getting Started in Digital History workshop will help you orient yourself in the digital history world with a basic overview of tools, methodologies and funding sources that will help you as you practice history. Participants have their choice of two options: an introductory track or an intermediate track. The workshop will conclude with the plenary lunch, "Table Talks." 

This year, the AHA is proud to once again present to our annual meeting attendees the Digital Projects Lightning Round. This presentation format can bring verve and enthusiasm to a conference. The idea? Getting word out about a variety of research projects in a series of brief, high-energy presentations.

Have questions about how to use digital tools in your teaching or research? Have a question about a digital tool? Have an idea for a digital project, but not sure where to start? Just keep getting stuck on a digital issue? Stop by the Digital Drop-in Session to talk with one of a group of knowledgeable digital historians. They will be available during this time to talk one-on-one in a relaxed way about a range of digital scholarship tools and methodologies including overall project creation and management, digital pedagogy, social media, video/audio editing, GIS/Mapping, Zotero, Omeka, website creation, Wordpress, visualizations, and network analysis.

When: Friday, January 6, 2017: 1:30 PM-3:00 p.m.
Where: Mineral Hall C (Hyatt Regency Denver, Third Floor)
