Abstract

This presentation will introduce attendees to the use of a relational database, built using AirTable, that can provide a platform for managing projects that require analysis of a large number of primary sources. As a use-case, I’ll share my own relational database that contains entries for the 185 medieval manuscripts analyzed for my dissertation. I will explain how those of us working in the Humanities can use this platform to prepare for and process archival research, demonstrating how a relational database can even help reveal otherwise difficult-to-identify patterns in our research.
