Digital Scholarship Resources

The Center for Digital Scholarship (CDS) offers workshops on various digital scholarship methods and skills throughout the academic year, such as creating oral histories and digital archives, using artificial intelligence (AI) large language models, mapping, text analysis, and more. Check out our library events calendar and filter by "Digital Humanities Certificate" and "CDS" to see our current offerings. We also offer a two-week summer Digital Humanities Institute for graduate students. 

The Center for Digital Scholarship works with faculty and graduate students across departments to create live and asynchronous workshops and assignments on digital methodologies for courses. Here are a few examples of how you can use our expertise and resources:

• Whether your students have programming knowledge or not, they can use our web scraping toolkit to gather original datasets from the web and reach out to us for additional support.
• Use our digital public platforms guide to incorporate oral history projects, digital archives, napping projects, and more into a course project.
• Ask us to create a workshop, utilizing one of the digital scholarship methodologies that we teach, that is tailored to your course (e.g. using datasets relevant to your field).  

This guide can help introduce you to resources for digital scholarship, but we are here to help too. Please reach out to cds_info@brown.edu or to the librarians on this guide for an individual consultation to help you with your research or course project. We can help you discover and use new technologies and tools, plan and scope a project, and introduce you to further resources. CDS supports faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students with their digital scholarship needs.
