Examining sports history through digitised & born digital resources

Abstract

• This workshop was held on November 11, 2022 as part of the Sporting Irish Lives conference hosted by Ulster University at their Belfast campus. It was aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers that study the topic of sport. The running time for this session was 70 minutes so many of the slides were discussed briefly to allow more time for the activity phase of this workshop. The slides accompanying these notes can be edited to suit different session lengths and if more time is available then more time can be spent on exploring the different options discussed in the slides. As there was limited time in this workshop, no live demos were given during the presentation. This workshop focused on the subject of sport but it can be adapted to suit any subject area.
