Friday, November 18; 2:30–4:30 p.m.; Tisch Hall 1014; The web contains a wealth of data that, even a decade ago, wasn’t available to researchers. However, data from the web is often messy and hard to manually download and gather. This workshop will focus on using the Python programming language to scrape data from the web and make it useful for digital history research and analysis. In addition to tackling the “how,” we will also discuss “why” and “when” web scraping is appropriate. Please bring a computer if possible. More info.
