I have designed this module to introduce you to historical network analysis using Gephi. The readings will present some of the general frameworks and theories of social network analysis and historical network analysis, but, I would like to emphasize that 1) they are not comprehensive and 2) they tend to emphasize early modern European networks, which is where my research interests tend to be focused. The Gephi section will provide a working knowledge of Gephi, a popular and (relatively) easy-to-use network analysis program. There are a number of tutorials on the internet, so instead of re-creating the wheel, I am assigning a few of these tutorials.
By the end of this module, you will
Have a general knowledge of the basic theories of Social Network Analysis (SNA).
Understand the limits and opportunities for using network analysis in historical contexts.
Have a working knowledge of Gephi and its feature set.

This pedagogical emphasis has both shaped the archive and has been shaped by the process of developing the archive.

This post is a brief introduction to the digital humanities (a.k.a. DH) for university faculty whose responsibilities include reviewing promotion and tenure cases.
