In the last decade, Gale has collaborated with eighteenth-century scholars to support pioneering work in digital humanities and text and data mining. This session will review some of that scholarship and discuss the lessons learned by Gale, the publisher of Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) and other seminal digital archives for this period. The seminar will explore the impact these partnerships are having on the way that Gale produces digital archives, and how these developments can encourage deeper engagement with archives in the classroom.  

The seminar will also introduce Gale Digital Scholar Lab, Gale’s leading integrated text and data mining platform, which makes sophisticated data analysis accessible to all, regardless of technical skill.  Learn how it is being used in eighteenth-century studies classrooms to develop analytical and critical skills and to study traditional subjects in completely new ways, enabling exciting new discoveries.
