DRH96 : DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR THE HUMANITIES
A Conference to be held at Somerville College, Oxford July 1-3 1996
Sponsoring Institutions
The Centre for Humanities Computing, Oxford; The Humanities Research
Institute, Sheffield; The British Library; The Office for Humanities
Communication, Oxford; The Institute for Electronic Library Research,
De Montfort University; The Centre for Information Management and
Technology for Scholarship, London Guildhall University
The Conference Theme
Advances in computing affect all who work with the fundamental
resources of humanities scholarship. Archivists are learning new ways
to conserve their holdings of primary materials, ranging from
manuscripts through electronic texts to video. Electronic materials
are becoming increasingly important to librarians, who are developing
new forms of structured access to them. Scholars explore these
materials with new tools, and produce new kinds of scholarship with
them. As electronic publication increasingly gives individual archives
and scholars the power to publish, the traditional role of the
publisher is also changing. Long-held paradigms of scholarly
resources--their ownership, their use, their distribution--are being
transformed. Archivists, librarians, scholars and publishers have to
rework their relationships in this new information world, without
losing sight of the traditional values of academic discourse.
The Conference
This conference will provide a forum for archivists, librarians,
scholars and publishers to explore these changes, and to seek the best
ways to exploit them together. The conference will have four strands,
as follows:
* News from the front: papers and sessions on work done and in
progress, focusing on innovation in resource handling,
scholarship, and in delivery systems.
* As we may think: papers and sessions on the intellectual
framework, discussing (for example) issues of standards design,
copyright and wider social implications.
* Hard answers to practical problems: workshop sessions pitched at
various levels, from novice to expert. Suitable workshop topics
might include: project management, fund-raising strategies,
encoding design, resource discovery, Internet publishing,
digitization, copyright management, time-based media, image
recognition, application of international standards.
* For sale or rent: an exhibition of computer software and
electronic publications.
Who should Attend?
All who are concerned with the impact of computing on work with the
fundamental resources of humanities scholarship traditional primary
textual and still image material, and newer sound and moving image
media also will find this conference of interest. Some conference
presentations will be addressed to those engaged in projects
addressing large-scale scholarly resources. Other presentations will
be addressed to those interested in the legal or cultural aspects of
these developments. Others will be suitable for those seeking the best
way to begin a project in this area.
Call for Proposals
Conference sessions will be of ninety minutes, with up to three
sessions at once, and at least one plenary session on each of the
three days of the conference. The conference will open and close with
addresses from distinguished invited speakers. We invite proposals for
the four strands of the conference outlined above, as follows:
* Formal papers of 20-25 minutes for the News from the front and As
we may think strands
* Session proposals of 90 minutes length for the News from the front
and As we may think strands
* Workshop proposals for the Hard answers to practical problems
strand
* Exhibition proposals for the For sale or rent strand
A particular theme of the conference will be standards and their power
to unite the worlds of archivists, librarians, scholars, and
publishers. Papers, workshops or exhibitors focusing on standards and
open systems will be especially welcome.
