[With apologies for cross-posting] Dear all, The Digital Scholarship Group and the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks will be hosting two workshops on Tropy, a new tool for research photo organization and description, on November 13th in 440 Egan at Northeastern University. The first session, 10am to 12pm, will be designed for librarians and archivists; the second, 2pm to 4pm, will be designed for faculty. Please see below for more details on both events, let me know if you have questions at all, and pass this along to anyone who might be interested. Tropy comes to us from the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, also the home of Zotero and Omeka, and promises to be a leap forward for historians, librarians, archivists, photographers, and more. Join us for a session led by Abby Mullen, digital humanities scholar and Tropy project manager, and co-sponsored by the Northeastern University Libraries' Digital Scholarship Group and the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks. Tropy: Research Photo Management for Librarians and Archivists November 13 • 10am to 12pm • 440 Egan at Northeastern University While not necessary, we encourage you to bring a laptop so you can create your own Tropy account and get started right away. Do you return from the archives with hundreds of unorganized research photos? Do you teach skills training courses for your library? Do patrons come to you asking how to manage photos from archival research? You need to learn about Tropy, free and open-source software to help researchers organize and describe their research photos. Flexible enough to describe photos of anything, and robust enough to manage thousands of photos at once, Tropy allows researchers to bring order to their research. This workshop will teach you about Tropy and offer ideas for how to teach it to others. At the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to: * Identify common problems in describing and organizing personal research photo collections * Use Tropy to described and organize their personal library of research photos We have limited space, so please RSVP here: https://northeastern.libcal.com/event/4657814<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnortheastern.libcal.com%2Fevent%2F4657814&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc50656596955454e07b208d62a2aca15%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C0%7C636742760620795375&sdata=L1RL02ruh%2BM%2BaqpDiGNXewh3NYl2JSxEnHycwF6%2Fi%2Bs%3D&reserved=0> Tropy: Research Photo Management for Faculty November 13 • 2pm to 4pm • 440 Egan at Northeastern University While not necessary, we encourage you to bring a laptop so you can create your own Tropy account and get started right away.
