A conference that brings together the creators, users, distributors, and
custodians of digital resources in the Humanities.
8th - 10th July, 2001
School of Oriental and African Studies, London
The annual Digital Resources for the Humanities conference is the major
forum for all those involved in, and affected by, the digitization of our
cultural heritage. The conference brings together scholars, teachers,
publishers and broadcasters, librarians, curators and archivists, and
computer and information specialists, providing an opportunity to consider
the latest ideas in the creation and use of digital resources in all
aspects of work in the humanities.
This year the conference will be held at the School of Oriental and
African Studies, University of London. As well as concentrating on the
creation of digital resources, providing access to digital projects, and
digital preservation, this conference will consider the challenges of
building communities within a diverse and global context, with papers on
the following themes:
* Visualisation of data
* A managed digital environment
* Diversity and multi-culturalism
* World wide access
* Convergence
As well as the formal academic programme of papers, panel discussions,
exhibitions and presentations, the conference will provide an enjoyable
range of social activities where delegates can meet and informal
discussion can flourish.
The conference fee of 235 pounds sterling (inc VAT) includes full
conference programme and all the social activities. Further details of the
conference and an online booking form are available from the web site at
