Libraries have been digitising historical newspapers since the early 2000’s. However, to what extent are these digitised newspaper archives being used in digital humanities research? Web-archiving began in 1996 with the Internet Archive initiative and its well-known digital archive ‘The Wayback Machine’. Since then a multitude of web-archiving initiatives have been established to continue these efforts. However, the true potential of digital newspaper corpora and web-archives is as yet under-exploited. Hacking the news: from digitised newspapers to the archived-web: an introductory workshop to text and data-mining is intended to help redress this balance.

In recent years, a growing number of scholars of ancient history have started to explore the possibilities offered by digital humanities. The workshop ‘Ancient Digital Humanities’ aims to accelerate these developments and enter into the conversation already in progress in the larger field of history. The session brings together leading scholars who apply computational methods to the study of ancient history, culture, and literature. The term ‘ancient history’ refers here to the period extending from 3000 BCE until the beginning of the Common Era.

Workshop aims to increase awareness of available free datasets and how they could be utilized in gathering source data for participant's own research topic, for example local history. We can gather data and explore pre-existing tools which to create word clouds, image classification or how to capture named entities from texts. In this workshop we will utilize the digitized collections of the National Library of Finland, especially newspapers at

Different aspects related to higher education programs in Digital Humanities (DH), whether, what and how they should be organized, are currently discussed at many higher education institutions in Nordic countries and beyond. In recent years the establishment of new educational programs under the title of Digital Humanities, for example in the USA, UK and Germany, are an indication of a perceived need for developing such specific curricula. The aim of this proposed workshop at DHN 2018 is to bring together scholars, educators and others interested in different aspects of Digital Humanities education to explore the current potential and challenges and opportunities related to the teaching and learning of Digital Humanities. The workshop will provide an opportunity to share experiences, discuss existing programs, modules and courses in Digital Humanities, research, training and development activities, evaluation approaches, lessons learned, and findings.

This is a hands-on workshop in which the participants will have the opportunity to try out embodied writing and translation. Working in groups, the participants will be asked to collaborate with each other and with machine translation in the creation of improvised texts. The aim is to reflect on human-machine interaction in the context of writing, and to approach the question of how technogenesis, the co-evolution of humans and digital media, might play out in performative, digital writing of this kind.

Network analysis can be be applied to many kinds of data sets. In the humanities, the methods of network theory are used to process network data in the fields of history, linguistics, or literature. While underlying methods and algorithms are a connecting element, the pre-processing and analysis of data may differ significantly in different disciplines. This DARIAH-EU-sponsored workshop concentrates on social networks extracted from fictional texts, dramatic texts in particular. There are many ways to implement such thing, depending on the kind of research question.

Tradition archives have been an abode for discipline-centred, tailored systems for cataloguing and classification. At the beginning of the twentieth century, international indexing and cross-referencing classification and type-systems were developed for folklore archiving and research that later advanced to international standards, e.g., the
