We are very pleased to announce the first issue of Digital Humanities
Quarterly at:

http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/

DHQ is an open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal covering all
aspects of digital media in the humanities, published online by the
Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations.

DHQ Volume 1, Issue 1 (Spring 2007)

Texas, Austin

Webs of Significance: The Abraham Lincoln Historical Digitization

This first issue brings together a fascinating range of perspectives,
and we expect this breadth to be even more visible as future issues
accumulate. We look forward to showcasing the wide variety of materials
that are being submitted, both from traditional digital humanities
domains and from important related areas such as new media studies,
digital libraries, and digital art. New pieces will be added in a
preview section as soon as they are ready for publication, and a
quarterly announcement will notify readers when each new issue is
complete. Please bookmark the site for now; an RSS feed will be coming
soon. During the course of the next year we will also be adding more
features such as commenting, searching, and a variety of ways of
interacting with the content.
