Funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Office of Digital Humanities through its Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities programs, the Folger Institute offers Early Modern Digital Agendas to foster the development of digital approaches to early modern texts. These multi-week institutes explore the robust set of digital tools with period-specific challenges and limitations that early modern literary scholars of English have at hand. Following the success of EMDA2013, the Office of Digital Humanities has generously funded a second Early Modern Digital Agendas institute for the summer of 2015. Information about this upcoming opportunity is available at EMDA2015.

EMDA2013

In July 2013, “Early Modern Digital Agendas” created a forum under the direction of Jonathan Hope, Professor of Literary Linguistics at the University of Strathclyde. It afforded the opportunity for twenty faculty, information staffers, and advanced graduate student participants to historicize, theorize, and critically evaluate current and future digital approaches to early modern literary studies—from Early English Books Online-Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP) to advanced corpus linguistics, semantic searching, and visualization theory—with discussion growing out of, and feeding back into, their own projects (current and envisaged). With the guidance of expert visiting faculty, participants paid attention to the ways new technologies were and are shaping the very nature of early modern research and the means by which scholars interpret texts, teach their students, and present their findings to other scholars.
