Another fun conversation with Jonathan from OpenITI! This was mostly about choosing a "tech stack" as a DH practitioner in a field like ours. I'll post a few links below for tools that I mentioned here.
Our Conversations series continues with a discussion with @theodorebeers about the process of building an effective digital stack for scholars working in Islamicate related fields, tons of useful information + links to tools and resources in the shownotes: youtube.com/watch?v=MPogRuJc…

The Kitab project originated around 2014 at the Aga Khan University.
Part of the focus at the Kitab projects is on corpus building, mostly Arabic but also Urdu.
The project is interested in the transmission of Arabic texts: 7th-16th c.
