The data is gathered through expert-created entries that take the form of structured questionnaires or “polls”. The format of the queries ensures that both quantitative and qualitative information is gathered. This enables users to both browse through individual entries in a manner similar to encyclopedia entries, as well as manipulate and visualize the data in order to compare religious beliefs and practices across time and space. In this workshop, DRH staff will provide an introduction to this resource and discuss new pedagogy packages and polls that will be of particular interest to archaeologists and those in the cultural heritage sector. We encourage instructors and graduate students from history, archaeology, and anthropology departments to attend and sign up as experts, as all global regions and time periods are of interest. We value the time and effort of our experts, and provide a $300 (CAD) honorarium for each completed entry. Each entry is also published through the University of British Columbia library and provided with a digital DOI. This is therefore a particularly excellent opportunity for graduate students to add a publication to their resume. During the workshop, interested experts will be able to start their entries and receive guidance from DRH staff. The workshop is hybrid, and interested attendees should register for their preferred method of attendance using the link provided above. A reception will follow at 12pm – which both in-person and online attendees are welcome to attend.  Download the flyer here.pdf
