Washington, DC Datathon
About
The Archives Unleashed Team has partnered with George Washington University Libraries to host the next Archives Unleashed datathon.
This event will bring together a small group of 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.

The majority of datathon time will be spent on team project work. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided on both days, and there will be plenty of coffee and tea throughout the event!
