about the creation, exploitation, management and preservation of digital
resources in the arts and humanities.

10-13 September 2000.  Proposals for academic papers, themed panel
sessions, posters and workshops are invited. Themes include: the creation
of digital resources; their delivery, use and integration; the impact of
digital resources on humanities research and education.

CALL FOR HOSTS : DRH 2001 and DRH 2002

The DRH Standing Committee warmly invites proposals to host the DRH
conferences in 2001 and 2002. Further information about DRH together with
the conference Protocol, which includes guidelines for prospective hosts,
is available via the DRH Web site at http://www.drh.org.uk/.

Proposals to host DRH should be submitted by 8 April 2000 to the Chair of
the Standing Committee, Marilyn Deegan
(marilyn.deegan at queen-elizabeth-house.oxford.ac.uk), giving as much detail
as possible to help the Committee in its selection process.  Previous
hosts of DRH have found running the conference very rewarding and have
also found that it can be an opportunity to alert their wider institution
to research activities in this area.
