Digging Up Data was first organized as a series of three virtual workshops, collaboratively planned by members of the team at The Alexandria Archive Institute/Open Context (AAI/OC) and the American Society of Overseas Research Early Career Scholars Committee (ASOR ECS) and moderated by Leigh Anne Lieberman and Tiffany Earley-Spadoni. These workshops, hosted live in fall 2021 and now shared on ASORtv, aimed to offer ASOR members an introduction to data literacy. Brief abstracts and the links to the recordings can be found below.
