Towards an institutional typology of digital humanities centres

Thanks to John Unsworth for the link

This Wiki presents a structured list of departments, centres, institutes and other institutional forms that variously instantiate humanities computing. For each entry a link is provided to the relevant site on the WWW and a brief description given. This list represents an ongoing attempt to derive a basic typology from a complex variety of activities and so to provide institutional models for the field. Despite the fact that national academic conventions vary quite widely and cultural differences make comparisons difficult if not hazardous, no attempt has been made here to account for them. The intention is not to define what is happening in the field world-wide, rather it is to provoke discussion leading either to consensus or at least to an improved understanding of the conditions under which computing humanists work. Constructive criticisms and clarifications are not merely welcome, they are to the point.

  • ...this blog is obsessively directed at profiling digital humanities developments in a cultural, social, and technical sense and in terms of books and applications...it is an aggregation or 'meta' style blog with the occasional commentary

    Hi, my name is Dr Craig Bellamy and I am a digital humanities analyst for the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative, a consortium based at the University of Melbourne, however, the views expressed in this blog are the responsibility of the author alone.
