Dear Students,
Please find 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 an information flyer about the Minor in Textual and Digital Humanities.
Please feel free to contact Geoff Turnovsky at gt2@uwe.edu or text@uw.edu with any questions!
