Yes to all the above :) I wish I was able to attend SHA but wedding/honeymoon/grade submission complicates jan conferences. Better yet, I wish one of my promising students could take part...perhaps at a future training session. I hope all is well with you. I loved your Halloween costumes :) I'm in the midst of moving lab here on campus. I'm hoping for some divine oversight from Karen because I know she's thinking about all of us.
All the best,
Zach

On Wednesday, January 6, we are hosting a day-long, interactive workshop where participants will not only learn how to navigate the website, but also get hands-on experience using the archive and the data it contains. In addition, the workshop will focus on the essentials of teaching and doing research with DAACS. The hosts and guest speakers will alternate research and teaching case studies with hands-on activities to ensure that each participant engages fully with the archive.

Participants will leave with a strong working knowledge of DAACS's content, research, and teaching possibilities, as well as handouts and sample syllabi for continued work with the archive.
