DRH 2004: Digital Resources for the Humanities
University of Newcastle, UK. 5-8 September 2004

Deadline: March 15th 2004

The DRH conferences have established themselves firmly in the UK and international calendar as a major forum bringing together scholars, librarians, archivists, curators, information scientists and computing professionals in a unique and positive way, to share ideas and information about the creation, exploitation, management and preservation of digital resources in the arts and humanities.

The 2004 Conference aims to address some of the key emerging themes and strategic issues that engagement with ICT is bringing to humanities computing and scholarly research. Themes for 2004 include:

• Methods in humanities computing
• Cross-sector exchange between heritage, national and local government, and education bodies
• Broadening the humanities computing base
• New forms of scholarly publication

Proposals for individual papers and full sessions addressing these themes are invited. Proposers should indicate which of the themes their papers will seek to address.

DRH also has a tradition of supporting and encouraging new scholars and as such will be showcasing postgraduate research. Postgraduates are invited to submit proposals for short papers of approximately 15 minutes duration.

Please visit our website for full details of the conference and how to submit proposals. Email enquiries are also welcome.
