[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Dear Historians,

Please see below and attached information on a great 3 credit workshop, TXTDS 200, Books Unbound – Gateway to Textual Studies and Digital Humanities, in spring 2026!
The course meets in the Special Collections Library !

This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to the minor in Textual Studies and Digital Humanities:


  *   explore the riches of UW Libraries and Tateuchi East Asia Library Special Collections from early manuscripts, historical printed books and maps to artists’ books
  *   try letterpress printing and book arts (print and make a small book). Write a letter on a typewriter (and mail it!)
  *   discover techniques and challenges of digitization
  *   experiment creatively with computational technologies, from NLP to AI


We also have information below about the Minor in Textual and Digital Humanities.

Please feel free to contact Geoff Turnovsky at gt2 at uwe.edu<mailto:gt2 at uwe.edu> or text at uw.edu<mailto:text at uw.edu> with any questions!
