The Digital Arts & Humanities site was launched on Sunday 11 September at a
reception at the 'Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities and Arts'
conference.
Digital Arts & Humanities is a place to share and discuss ideas, promote
your research and discover the digital arts and humanities. This virtual
community of arts and humanities researchers has been developed by the AHRC
ICT Methods Network in collaboration with several other institutions and
communities and is hosted by King's College London.
http://www.arts-humanities.net/
As a member of the community you can:
- announce activities in your field to a wide audience
- keep up to date with what others are doing
- exchange ideas and experience with the community in our group forums and
user blogs
- build your profile to show your research interests and background and
search others' profiles to find contacts and identify future collaborations
- use our wiki to learn more about tools and methods for your research.
Digital Arts & Humanities is also used as a community platform by various
groups and projects. We would be happy to host your community and offer
features including blogs and open or private discussion groups. Even if you
are already using such features on your own website, a presence on Digital
Arts & Humanities is a good way of letting the wider community know what you
are up to and to make new contacts.
Discussions and postings are automatically announced on other websites and
integrated into social bookmarking and networking sites to make them
available to a wide audience. Our RSS feeds make it easy to add our
community content to your site.
Several other groups support and contribute to Digital Arts & Humanities.
These include: Arts and Humanities Data Service, Arts and Humanities
eScience Support Centre, CHArt - Computers and the History and Arts, ICT
Guides. The site already has over 220 registered members and active discussions.
You might be especially interested in a forum thread where we discuss 'After
the AHDS: The End of National Support? This thread continues the discussion
from a panel at the DRHA conference (David Robey, David Sheperd, Lorna
Hughes) earlier this month:
