DESCRIPTION:\n\n  Almost every text we work with—historical or otherwise
 —has a spatial component to it. Whether it is mapping Mary Shelley’s F
 rankenstein or exploring the margins of the Mediterranean in Edward Gibbon
 ’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire\, geography i
 s an important part of many texts. This workshop explores the textual anno
 tation tool within Pelagios.org’s Recogito feature\, which allows profes
 sors\, students\, and the public to annotate\, tag\, and visualize locatio
 ns from texts automatically. This workshop will teach you how to upload te
 xts and easily create interactive maps to allow deeper engagement with tex
 ts. It will also introduce attendees to the basic tenets of linked open da
 ta as applied within the realm of HGIS.Lunch will be provided.Sarah Bond i
