Dear Campers. I don’t know if you feel the same but when I do digital projects, copyrights are probably the issue that gives me headache…. So I was thinking of sharing my headache with you during one session. I would like to know whether some of you would be interested in knowing more about what the digital changes in regards of copyrights, the open-access policy, the tools we can use and so on…. Let me know.

I would like to propose a session based on my experience of teaching Digital History. Given the conference, I think we could enlarge the session to teaching digital humanities. I’d like to discuss what you think are the skills students should acquire, the different assignments, projects, and evaluation techniques. This could also enable students to participate in the discussion (what they want from such a course, what works and what doesn’t).

We are happy to say that registrations for THATCamp Louisiana 2015 are now open. Go to the “Registration” category or go to this link www.louisiana2015.thatcamp.org/registration/
Registration fee is $25 and will be paid at the opening of the THATCamp. You can find more details about direction in the TRAVEL category.

DO NOT FORGET, the Louisiana Historical Association is having its annual conference in Lafayette right after THATCamp (March 5-7). See their website for more information: www.lahistory.org/site11.php

We are very excited to announce that the University of Louisiana at Lafayette will host its first THATCamp. It will take place on Wednesday, March 4 from 9:00AM to 4:00PM, and Thursday, March 5 from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. While in the area, participants should also consider attending the Louisiana Historical Association’s annual conference (March 5-7) that will follow THATCamp in Lafayette.

This blog will cover any updates or relevant information leading up to and following the event. Registration will be open by mid-January 2015. Be sure to check back on us in January as more gears are put into motion. Until then, go to THATcamp.org for more information. See you this spring!

This event could not have been organized without the generous help from The Friends of the Humanities, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s College of Liberal Arts.
