Vancouver Datathon
About
The Archives Unleashed Team has partnered with Simon Fraser University Library and KEY, SFU’s Big Data initiative, to host the next Archives Unleashed datathon.
This event brings together approximately 15-20 participants to experiment with the newest release of AUT (Archives Unleashed Toolkit) and the Archives Unleashed Cloud, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Participants will have access to analytics software and specialists, and will be exposed to the process of working with web archive files at scale.
