THATCamp NCPH
THATCamp NCPH returns for the second year! THATCamp is an exciting one-day exploration of the intersection of digital technology and public humanities. THATCamps (The Technology and Humanities Camp) are participatory events where people learn from each other and work on actual projects directly applicable in their own institutions, companies, and programs. With a program that will emerge directly from the interests and skills of participants, the event reflects the kind of collegial spirit that public historians bring to their own work. Registration is $30 and closes on March 15. Space is limited. Visit the NCPH conference registration page at http://ncph.org/cms/conferences/2012-annual-meeting-3/ for information about how to register for THATCamp and/or the full annual conference.
