Subject: Humanities computing units and institutional resources
Dear Colleagues:
This is to announce a directory to "Humanities computing units and
institutional resources", a structured and annotated list of activities in
our field, at <http://ilex.cc.kcl.ac.uk/wlm/hc/>, and to issue a call for
additional contributions to the list. In putting this together, we have
been keenly aware of the difficulties in reducing a complex group of
activities to any one structure. We think, however, that the most effective
way to provoke clear, incisive thinking about the shape of what we are all
doing is to propose a structure for it so as to give those on the ground
(like ourselves) something to think against as well as with.
Comments, discussion, corrections and additions are most welcome. We have
taken the annotations for each centre from its web page wherever possible
and used the online information to place it within the given structure.
Apologies wherever necessary for errors in the placement. Fundamental
questions are especially welcome, e.g. as to what is meant by an "academic
appointment" or by "research in humanities computing". International
consensus on such basic points does not strike us as trivial to achieve.
Yours,
Willard McCarty (King's College London)
Matt Kirschenbaum (University of Kentucky)
