The Vistorian is a really excellent tool for quickly visualising networks on a map and exploring their change over time: perfect for archaeologists and historians! A while ago I made a tutorial for The Vistorian with its creator Benjamin Bach. I recently presented this tutorial at Aarhus’ Centre for Digital History, and this was recorded.
So check out the tutorial on my resources page.
And you can follow along with this video 🙂
The end of this month I will be teaching a workshop as part of the online event ‘network analysis for the humanities’ organised by the Aarhus University Centre for Digital History (CEDHAR). Very much looking forward to it. I think it would be a great event if you wish to get some skills and inspiration for your network analysis work. Details on their website.
You can register for free online.

Aarhus University in Denmark has recently seen the creation of a Centre for Digital History and the SDAM group (Social Dynamics in the Ancient Mediterranean, with loads of interest in networks). These initiatives are the driving forces behind the first in what I feel might be a series of international activities we can expect from them on the topic of digital approach in the humanities and social sciences.
