DRH2003: DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR THE HUMANITIES: EXTENDED DEADLINE
Although we have already received a number of excellent proposals for
papers, it has been decided to extend the deadline for submissions to this
year's DRH conference to APRIL 30th.
The conference website, together with details of how to submit a proposal,
is at http://www.glos.ac.uk/humanities/drh2003/
DRH is the major forum for all those involved in, and affected by, the
digitization of our cultural heritage: the scholar creating or using an
electronic resource to further research; the teacher gathering Web resources
into an online learning environment; the publisher or broadcaster
integrating print or analogue with the digital to reach new audiences; the
librarian, curator or archivist wishing to improve both access to and
conservation of the digital information that characterizes contemporary
culture and scholarship; the computer or information scientist seeking to
apply new developments to the creation, exploitation and management of
arts and humanities resources.
Areas on which DRH conferences have concentrated have included the
creation of digital resources, providing access to digital projects, the
application of digital resources to teaching and research, and digital
preservation. The Conference Programme Committee of DRH 2003 will
particularly welcome proposals which relate to the following themes:
- The impact of access to digital resources on teaching and learning
- Digital libraries, archives and museums
- Time-based media and multimedia studies in performing arts
- Network technologies used to support international community
programmes
- The anticipated convergence between televisual, communication and
computing media and its effect on the humanities
- Knowledge representation, including visualization and simulation
DRH2003 will be held at the University of Gloucestershire's Park Campus in
Cheltenham, England, from Sunday 31st AUGUST to Wednesday 3rd SEPTEMBER
2003.
The provisional programme will be announced on May 31st.
