| Content | This practical course explores the possibilities of digital methods in the historical research of global trade networks. The aim is to build repositories for digitalized historical documents and prepare and work with this data to trace and gain insight into the emerging global maritime trading networks of the 18. and 19. Century. The lecture includes a historical introduction to the subject and an introduction to the digital tools necessary for working with large-scale historical data. In the second part, students will create digital repositories and apply these digital instruments for historical research. |
| Learning objectives | This lecture aims to introduce some of the possibilities the application of digital instruments enables for research in the humanities. The students can apply some of these tools in their research afterwards. |
