In collaboration with the International Institute of Social History (IISG) and the project team of HITIME we would like to invite you to the CATCH Meeting to be held on Friday, 26 March 2010 in Amsterdam. This meeting starts at 12.00 and is open to any interested party. The location is the IISG at Cruquiusweg 31 in Amsterdam (http://www.iisg.nl). Background HITIME Historical Timeline Mining and Extraction There is a wealth of information in different forms about the labour movement during the period 1850-1940, which includes biographies, letters and other personal material. HITIME aims to provide a software tool kit for historical research. This will enable a large-scale analysis of the links between people, professions, locations, events and schools of thought in order to create a clear picture of the labour movement’s social network. The tool kit shall also be made suitable for generic historical text mining. HITIME is a project of the Tilburg University and the International Institute of Social History. There is no registration fee. More information on the programme and how to register will follow soon in the invitation. For more information please contact the CATCH secretariat.
