It is designed for students who are interested in the transcription and digitization of manuscripts and print-based texts into diplomatic, digital formats. In this workshop, participants will understand what TEI is and why it’s used, recognize the basic structure of a TEI document, and practice using a specific subset of TEI guidelines to encode a manuscript.
