Tutorials

Check out the DH-section of the Galaxy Training Network. Those are open educational resources (OER) that you can create from your workflows or reuse in teaching and training. If you have never worked with Galaxy before, we recommend starting with our Introduction to Digital Humanities in Galaxy.

You want to add your own training? Wonderful! Documentation for providing further tutorials can be accessed here.

📄 Publications / Examples

Not sure where to start?

  • Read the German article from Daniela Schneider and Jan Leendertse explaining Galaxy's applicability to Humanities and Social Sciences research within a reproducible research environment.

  • See the newest poster on how Galaxy can help researchers in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences presented at the Historikertag 2025.

Or play around:

  • We explored Instagram posts from the Bavarian State elections provided by the BERD Data Portal. Read more to see how the dataset was cleaned and mined to visualise not only the most frequent words in the post to get an idea of its contents, but also extracted and mapped where most of those posts originated in just a couple of steps in Galaxy.

  • Explore the use case that the team from the BERD Data Portal presented at the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Symposium 2025 using Galaxy. It highlights how the platform can help unlock data from large amounts of unstructured and non-machine-readable B-Plans.

🏛️ Upcoming events

The Galaxy community organises regularly scheduled training events. You can check the event pages here to get the latest ones.
