Hosted by the NiCHE New Scholars community, this workshop addresses how Digital Humanities tools can support environmental history research, specifically focusing on web scraping for the extraction of environmental historical data in online archives and databases. The workshop will also include a hands-on element where you can experiment with web scraping using the Chrome plug-in WebScraper. Participants are invited to install it from webscraper.io beforehand. The workshop will run from 2:00 to 3:30 PM (EST) on Wednesday, May 11.
