From 1 to 5 July 2019, the University of Antwerp's Centre for Digital humanities and literary Criticism (ACDC) <https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/research-groups/digitalhumanities/> is organizing its second annual Summer School in Digital Humanities <https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/summer-schools/digital-humanities/>. The summer school will exist of an intensive 5-day entry level hands-on course on making digital editions and managing digital collections. Conveniently scheduled in the week before the annual ADHO conference (DH2019, Utrecht <https://dh2019.adho.org/>), those who are interested in either may take the opportunity to attend both.

Course Description <https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/summer-schools/digital-humanities/programme/content-description/>
In the first half of the course, participants will acquire a set of basic computer skills to share and reuse images through IIIF <https://iiif.io/>. More specifically, they will use a Raspberry Pi <https://www.raspberrypi.org/> to set up a IIIF compliant server for hosting and sharing cultural heritage materials, and pick up and practice relevant technologies (command line, SSH, HTML, JSON, IIIF Manifests, etc.) along the way.

In the second half of the course, participants will learn to transcribe and describe the texts on such cultural heritage materials in TEI <https://tei-c.org/>-compliant XML, process their transcriptions using related X-technologies (Xpath and XSLT), and prepare them for the web. Specifically, they will use the TEI publisher <http://teipublisher.com/exist/apps/tei-publisher-home/index.html> application) to publish their own materials in an eXist-db <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=exist-db&t=osx&ia=web> environment.

Keynote Speakers <https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/summer-schools/digital-humanities/programme/keynotes-and-lecture/>
The organizers are happy to announce that the summer school will have two keynote speakers:

1.   On Monday 1 July, we invited Huw Jones of the Cambridge Digital Library <http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/> to give a lecture about their recent work around IIIF at their university's Digital Content Unit <http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/departments/digital-content-unit>.

2.    On Friday 5 July, we invited Magdalena Turska of eXist Solutions to showcase the TEI Publisher she co-authored, and put the development and maintenance of this tool in the context of community involvement. Together with Wolfgang Meier (the creator of eXist-db), Magdalena will also lead Friday's workshop sessions on publishing TEI-XML.

Although they are part of the summer school's official programme, both lectures will become part of the University of Antwerp's platform{DH} Lecture Series <http://uahost.uantwerpen.be/platformdh/index.php/talks/>, and opened up to the larger public.
