I would like to add my comments to the previous ones. This is obviously
a very important conference and I appreciate that the IHR is a
prestigious venue, but the day, location and cost of travel will
effectively skew the audience towards those from London and the
Southeast. Is this really the intention of the organisers? Should they
looking at weekend events in a central location?

Subject: Conference: Digital Deluge: History in the 21st Century, IHR,
17 November 2006
Dear All,
Registrations can now be made for the 2006 AHC-UK conference 'Digital
Deluge: History in the 21st Century' on 17 Nov at the IHR, London.
Organised by the AHC-UK and AHDS - History this conference explores the
challenges facing historians from the increasing volume of electronic
and
digital sources. These sources can often be incomplete, difficult to
acce ss
and to preserve, but they also provide new opportunities for research,
teaching and collaboration. Five experts in their field will provide
perspectives from archiving, scholarship, research, teaching and
e-scienc e.
Together, these perspectives may enable historians to harness the
digital
deluge rather than be swamped by it. The format of the conference will
al low
presenters to cover issues in depth and provide participants ample time
f or
discussion.
