Guides and Tutorials

Guides and Tutorials by the Fellows

The GCDI includes three fellowship programs, which generate various guides and tutorials related to the work they do for and as GCDI fellows. These resources address a range of topics (i.e. data and databases, design, mapping, programming and more) and accommodate a range of student experiences and needs. Explore our our guides and tutorials here.

GC Digital Research Institute

Hosted by the GC Digital Fellows and part of the GC Digital Initiatives, the GC Digital Research Institute (GC DRI) is a week-long intensive training course where participants learn core digital research skills and tools (including Command Line, GitHub, Python and more) while connecting with peers in an interdisciplinary environment.

Can’t make the Institute? We’ve made our workshops self-navigable and have shared them on the DRI website.
