Title: Data Organization and Visualization for Beginners

Short Description: This session will begin with short presentations on two digital art history projects, Mapping Titian and Mapping Sculpture, and how data for these projects were collected and organized. We will then provide a basic introduction to spreadsheets and how to use spreadsheets to organize data. A variety of platforms and file formats, including .xlsx, .csv, and Google Sheets, will be reviewed. During the second portion of the session, we will demonstrate select data visualization platforms such as Google Fusion Tables, Carto, and Palladio. Following these demonstrations, we will facilitate a hands-on session during which participants can explore some of these presented tools (time permitting, bring your own computer). This session is intended for beginners.

Resources, Tools, Projects: Excel, Google Sheets, Open Refine, Google Fusion Tables, Carto, Palladio, TimelineJS, and more.
