In 2014, Data Carpentry was founded with the mission of building communities teaching universal data literacy. Also in 2014, Library Carpentry was founded with the mission of teaching data skills to people working in library- and information-related roles. Each lesson program works in tandem and in partnership to develop lessons and build global communities of practice.

In 2018, Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry merged their projects to form a new project called The Carpentries, under the fiscal sponsorship of Community Initiatives, and shortly thereafter welcomed Library Carpentry as a Lesson Program. In 2025, The Carpentries started operations as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit.
In 2017, the first conference session connecting the HPC Carpentry community took place.

In 2018, Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry merged their projects to form a new project called The Carpentries, under the fiscal sponsorship of Community Initiatives, and shortly thereafter welcomed Library Carpentry as a Lesson Program.

In 2025, The Carpentries started operations as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit. HPC Carpentry joined The Carpentries in 2026, as the fourth official lesson program.


<img src="images/timeline.png" alt="A graphic depicting the development of The Carpentries. It is titled “A Brief History of The Carpentries” with The Carpentries logo to the left of the title. The graphic is a snaking timeline chart summarising significant transitions in The Carpentries' history from 1998 to 2025. Not all years are represented. Under each year is a brief summary of the key developments in that year, with logos of the funder organisation/s that supported that phase of the organisation’s projects. The dates and accompanying text are as follows: 1998: Software Carpentry is founded by Greg Wilson and Brent Gorda. 2001: Lesson materials are made open source with support from the Python Software Foundation. 2003: Software Carpentry efforts scaled with support from Alfred P. Sloan Foundation & Mozilla Science Lab. 2013: First Software Carpentry for Librarians workshops in US & Canada. 2014: Data Carpentry founded by Karen Cranston, Hilmar Lapp, Tracy Teal, and Ethan White with support from NSF. 2014: James Baker receives support from Software Sustainability Institute to develop and implement Library Carpentry. 2014: Software Carpentry Foundation is founded under NumFOCUS. 2015: Data Carpentry efforts scaled with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. 2018: Software Carpentry & Data Carpentry merge to form The Carpentries as a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives. Library Carpentry later joins as a new lesson program. 2019: CZI supports The Carpentries to scale its programs, and build capacity with local communities. 2020: Online Workshops begin. 2025: On 1 February The Carpentries transitions out of fiscal sponsor-ship into an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation."/>

## HPC Carpentry
This [workshop][hpcc] provides researchers and other individuals working with large volumes of data with a guided introduction to working on the shared, distributed computers often referred to as High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters.
We explore what it means to work on a cluster, how to connect to these remote systems, and how to manage work tasks executed on them.
We also teach the skills and understanding required to combine multiple tasks into coordinated workflows that can improve efficiency and reproducibility of processing and analysis carried out on an HPC cluster.
The workshop empowers learners to make appropriate use of the large-scale computer resources available to them, helping them scale up and accellerate their projects.

## Library Carpentry
This [workshop][lc] is intended for people working in libraries and the information sciences. It introduces terms, phrases, and concepts in
software development and data science, how to best work with data structures, and use regular expressions in searches. We introduce the
