The event is part of the DiXiT network and is hosted by the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands. It brings together a group of international experts from the fields of textual scholarship and computer science.

The workshop engages with the theory and practice of semi-automated collation and provides an intense training in the open source collation program CollateX.

Participants will learn how to prepare source materials, how to perform semi-automated collation using CollateX, and how to inspect and modify the results; they will acquire or improve computational skills relevant to textual criticism and in particular to the production of scholarly editions.

The workshop venue is located at Kaap Noord, a business centre on the Northern bank of the IJ in Amsterdam, close to the Central Station. It is easily accessible by public transport (ferry, bus) or bike.

Registration is now open and free of charge.

Early registration is recommended since there are limited places available.
