Through a variety of means, the program seeks to disseminate and encourage the active sharing of knowledge about historical documentary editing; and to build the capacity of both newcomers and experienced practitioners working in the related fields of digital scholarly editing, digital ethnic studies, digital history, and digital humanities.
