DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR THE HUMANITIES '97
September 14 - 17 1997, St Anne's College, Oxford
FINAL CALL FOR REGISTRATIONS
***** Closing date is now 15th August*****
DRH97 aims to become a new forum for all those affected by
the digitization of our common cultural heritage: the scholar
producing or using an electronic edition; the teacher using
digital media in the seminar room; the publisher finding new
ways to reach new markets; the librarian, curator, art historian,
or archivist wishing to improve both access to and conservation
of the digital information that characterizes contemporary
culture and scholarship.
The conference fee of 250 pounds covers lunches, dinners, and
the whole academic programme. The conference banquet will
cost an additional 40 pounds. For accommodation, delegates
can choose between ensuite rooms at 45 pounds/day or
study/bedrooms with shared bathroom at 30 pounds/day for B
& B. All accommodation is in St Anne's College, in modern
purpose-built blocks adjoining the quadrangle and within a few
minutes walk of all conference facilities. A number of
conference bursaries are available.
The conference web site at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~drh97/ is
regularly updated, and includes full details of the programme
and registration information.
