Online IUSSP Workshop: New ways of transcribing, visualizing, publishing, and providing access to data on epidemics and contagious diseases
As part of the IUSSP Scientific Panel on ‘Epidemics and Contagious Diseases: The Legacy of the Past’, our group is organizing an online-only workshop on the topic of ‘New ways of transcribing, visualizing, publishing, and providing access to data on epidemics and contagious diseases”, hosted at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) on 18 June 2025, 9:30 to 14:00 CEST / Swiss time. The aim of the event is to bring together experts from various disciplines who are working directly or indirectly on methodological questions of how to transcribe, visualise and publish tabular or otherwise structured or unstructured data in research with handwritten or printed historical sources as effectively as possible using innovative and modern methods. The focus is on methods and sources, and workflows along the entire pipeline are of interest. The aim is also to learn from each other and to provide each other with insights into best practice, and, as an overarching goal, to start new collaborations and build a community that will meet more regularly afterwards.
