Discover the Gale Digital Scholar Lab - Workshop 1

Please join us for an introduction to the Gale Digital Scholar Lab, an online environment where you can use digital tools to explore and analyse content from the Gale archives and databases. Pairing the Lab’s computational analysis tools with high-quality content from GALE Primary Sources allows researchers to identify previously undiscovered data, test theories and provide solutions to issues and challenges. Recent updates to the Gale Lab make it possible for users to upload their own content and analyse this using the tools in the Lab, or cross analyse with data from Gale’s Primary Source Archives.

Workshop #1 will provide a broad introduction to the Scholar Lab, and demonstrate the use of Text analysis, Named Entity Recognition and Topic Modelling tools. In this webinar we will use the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic to showcase how you can use the Lab to create and analyse custom content sets from a range of archives and Gale historical newspapers.

Registrations are essential.

This workshop is open to everyone, no coding skills are required, and all disciplines are welcome.
