FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. and FISHKILL, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) celebrates 20 years of powering higher ed research, Gale, part of Cengage Group, and the American Society of Eighteenth Century Studies (ASECS) are releasing the impact report findings of how the five scholars of the Gale-ASECS Non-Residential Fellowship program used ECCO and Gale Digital Scholar Lab (the Lab) to advance their research.
Key Points:
- Last year, each fellow received $2,500 from Gale and were given access to the Lab, a cloud-based digital humanities (DH) tool and ECCO for a period of six months.
- The goal of the fellowships is to help scholars expand the field of eighteenth-century studies for research or teaching, using DH methods to conduct their research.
- Through a digital humanities intervention, Dr. Kozaczka sought to resolve the eighteenth-century legal disputes through the weight of data.
- There is perhaps no better digital resource with which to assess the whole of British print culture in the eighteenth century."
