Workshops on the Digital Humanities of the North
In spring 2019, the Foundation of Siberian Cultures launched a new initiative entitled Digital Humanities of the North. A consortium of anthropologists and linguists who have compiled comprehensive documentations on the languages and cultures of the North for many years was founded on this occasion. The aim of the project is to permanently secure these important data in a structured and compatible manner and to make them more accessible to various user groups via the Internet. Corresponding web portals need to be created to this effect, reflecting the special needs of particular user groups. Details of this project have been discussed during several consortium meetings, as well as two workshops held at the Foundation of Siberian Cultures, May 16-18 and June 1- 3, 2018, respectively.
