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 University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, from 8 - 11 September 2002. Themes include:

• Provision and management of access
• Digital libraries, archives and museums
• Time-based media and multimedia studies in music and performing arts
• Other social sciences where these overlap significantly with the humanities
• Network technologies used to support international community programmes
• The anticipated convergence between televisual, communication and computing media and its effect on the humanities
• Information analysis, design and modelling in humanities research
• Knowledge representation, including visualization and simulation

The academic programme will comprise papers, panel discussions and poster presentations. This year’s plenary speakers are:

Ted Nelson
Visiting Professor of Environmental Information, Keio University, Japan

Bernard Smith
Head of Unit, Cultural Heritage Applications, European Commission

Sarah Tyacke
Keeper of Public Records, UK Public Record Office
