• BootCampVA

    THATCampVA’s BootCamp, a one-day pre-THATCamp training extravaganza, will be held Friday, December 17 in the Scholars’ Lab.  BootCampVA will be composed of two tracks: a GIS Track featuring sessions lifted from the Scholars’ Lab’s NEH-funded Geospatial Institute and a General Track with introductions to a variety of tools and approaches to Web development, statistics, and qualitative analysis.

    Interested in attending BootCamp? Be sure to let us know when you apply for THATCampVA. Tuition is free, but a handful of fellowships are available to defray travel costs for qualified applicants.
