This workshop will focus on the latest discoveries of Chinese local historical materials in the Singapore and Southeast Asia region, including religious scriptures and liturgies, stone inscriptions, deeds, contracts and account books, minutes of meetings of management committees of temples, associations, ancestral halls and cemeteries, commemorative volumes, and other materials. We will discuss the value and importance of these sources, and the light they shed on the history of religious networks, commercial networks, and religion in everyday life. We will discuss new ways to employ digital humanities tools to preserve the data from these documents in sustainable digital formats.
