North Florida Editorial Workshop

The North Florida Editorial Workshop engages students in the transcription and digital publishing of archival materials related to the history of the region. The project is associated with an undergraduate course on digital editing and digital archives at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, and involves collaboration with the UNF Digital Humanities Institute and the UNF Thomas G. Carpenter Library Special Collections, as well as various other local archives and historical societies.

Digital textual editing is a scholarly process that challenges participants to think critically about written materials, analyze how we construct narratives, develop research skills, and play an active role in the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage material
