This hands-on workshop introduces Humanities scholars and Social Scientists to LLMs and LLM-assisted coding (Cursor, Claude Code) for digital scholarship. The focus is on working with primary sources that exist as scanned PDFs and learning how to extract information from large-scale collections in order to build structured datasets that are suitable for empirical analysis. Participants will be guided through designing LLM pipelines for their own source material. API credits will be provided. Spaces are limited.
