The Day of Digital Scholarship is a day of celebration and awareness of research that is presented, created, or about digital tools or culture. Please join us on April 9 in Willis Library, Room 250H to learn more about digital scholarship projects created on campus and in the greater state of Texas.

Our keynote speakers are Dr. Carolina A. Villarroel and Dr. Gabriela Baeza Ventura from the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage project at the Arte Público Press.

Both will be joining us to talk about their project. Recovery’s mission is to locate, preserve and disseminate Hispanic culture of the United States in its written form since colonial times until 1960. The program has compiled a comprehensive bibliography of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, and ephemera produced by Latinos.

This day is brought to you by the Digital Scholarship Workgroup and is part of the UNT Libraries celebration of National Library Week.
