Digital Humanities Early-Career Välipala: Biographical datasets and history

Digital Humanities early career välipala is a regular event for early career humanities and social sciences researchers. It offers a free form opportunity to discuss and share experiences of digital methods in research. The focus is on digital good practices, stumbling blocks and tricks regarding use of data, tools and analysis methods.

Snacks will be provided in the form of insights on new methods, testimonials… and cake!

Welcome from 2 – 3:30 pm at Metsätalo (B427)
Please register and share experiences the latest one day in advance to make sure there are snacks for all.

In the session on Wed, 30 September 2026, Biographical datasets and history we will discuss the use of collections of biographical data as sources in historical research. Presenters for the session are: Sara Luostarinen (Doctoral researcher, University of Helsinki), with the title “From historical population registers to individual-level dataset and beyond: The increase of non-marital sexuality in rural Finland, 1680–1899” and Reetta Eiranen (Senior researcher, SKS) with the title ”Nineteenth-century biographical sources and digital tools”.

Each session starts with a brief introduction into a theme by researchers working on a similar topic to facilitate free-form and open conversation. We aim to build a community and space to create and find connections. The DH välipalat are organised by and for early-career researchers. We are a group of interdisciplinary folk based in Helsinki supported by DARIAH-FI The digital research infrastructure for the arts and humanities.
