Intensive Introduction to TEI August 10-12, 2006 at Brown University

Co-sponsored by the Scholarly Technology Group and the Women Writers Project, in conjunction with Summer and Continuing Education at Brown University

The Scholarly Technology Group and the Women Writers Project are once again offering a three-day workshop on text encoding with the TEI Guidelines. This intensive hands-on introduction will cover the basics of TEI encoding, including a discussion of stylesheets and XML publication tools, project planning, and funding issues. The workshop is designed to help encoding novices get quickly up to speed on basic text encoding, with particular emphasis on the transcription of primary sources and archival materials. Humanities faculty and graduate students, archivists, librarians, and digital project managers will all find this workshop a useful background for a closer engagement with text encoding theory and practice.
