On March 12th and 13th I participated in the 2015 Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives Unconference and Symposium: Innovation, Collaboration, and Models at the University of Pennsylvania  During the Unconference I ran a workshop on using OpenRefine to clean and gather data. Most of the concepts discussed in the workshop have been used during our work on the Hall Hoag Collection. Notes from the workshop can be found in this Google Doc.

I had a great couple of days in Philadelphia and encourage everyone to look into some of the other CLIR funded projects.
