Ceilyn Boyd on Transforming a Digital Collection into a Data Collection

[Philip Durbin]

Ceilyn gave a very interesting talk last week that I think curators especially will enjoy.

The task was to start with a digital library collection ( https://curiosity.lib.harvard.edu/slavery-abolition-emancipation-and-freedom ) and convert it into research data ( https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/SAEF ).

I just added it to https://dataverse.org/dataversetv but here are some direct links:
