In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to use Telar, an open-source platform for building interactive visual narratives around high-resolution images. Telar produces free-standing websites using a minimal-computing approach — no servers, no databases, no installation, and no ongoing maintenance costs.
Participants will work through the full workflow: setting up a project on GitHub, authoring content in Google Sheets, and publishing a site to the web. By the end of the session, each participant will have built and published a working project using materials from digitised collections. No prior technical experience is required – just a laptop and a web browser.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own images and create a free GitHub account in advance.
This workshop will be co-led by Professors Juan Cobo Betancourt (History, UCSB) and Santiago Muñoz-Arbeláez (History, UT-Austin). Please see flyer below for details and registration.
