Target Audience
All students at master level or above and employees at the university, although primarily meant for students and researchers in the humanities and social sciences.
Learning outcomes
The course will cover how to:
- Use Tropy’s interface to group pictures, annotate them and tag them
- Create a Tropy database and import pictures
- Adapt Tropy’s standard metadata templates to your needs
Working Methods
We will start by working with an already existing Tropy database [The download link will be posted here a few days before the course]. We will organise the pictures into items, add or correct metadata, and annotate the sources.
Once everyone is familiar with the interface, you will learn how to create a new database and fill it with your own archival pictures and/or pictures of various sources that we can provide. You will learn how to adapt the various standard Tropy templates to your needs.
Instruction will be in English, unless everyone is competent in Norwegian, and we can also answer questions in Norwegian.
Practical information
Please bring your laptop with Tropy installed. You can install it by downloading it from their website: Explore your research photos | Tropy
