Digital Resources for the Humanities Conference

Call to host DRH 2004
The Digital Resources for the Humanities (DRH) conference is an annual
international conference for bringing together the creators, users,
distributors, and custodians of digital resources in the Humanities. The
conference promotes the creation, management, dissemination, use and
preservation of high quality humanities digital resources. The term
'humanities' in this context has a wide definition which encompasses the
work of the cultural industries, epitomised by libraries, museums, galleries,
archives, and heritage management; as well as subjects like art, design,
architecture, film, radio, television, performance, music, dance, literary
and linguistic studies, history, archaeology, religion and classics.
The Digital Resources for the Humanities (DRH) Standing Committee warmly
invites proposals from organisations within the British Isles to host the
DRH conference in 2004. Previous hosts of DRH have found running the
conference very rewarding. Hosts have also found that it can be an
opportunity to alert their own institution to the growing range of
activity in this area as well as having the potential to raise the
international profile of their own institution within the broad
communities served by the conference.
The document, "Hosting a Digital Resources for the Humanities Conference"
available online via <http://www.drh.org.uk/>, provides background
information to the conference, answers some of the commonly-asked
questions about hosting a DRH conference, and outlines the requirements of
submitting an initial expression of interest and any subsequent bid. The
document should be read together with the DRH Protocol, also online via
<http://www.drh.org.uk/>.
You are encouraged to discuss the submission of a bid with Michael Fraser,
Chair of the Standing Committee or any other member of the Committee
(especially members who have been actively involved in the local
organisation of a previous DRH conference).
Expressions of interest should be submitted by email to Michael Fraser
([log in to unmask]) by 30 April 2002.
