This project stalled
Arts and humanities computing has since its inception been hampered by the lack of an adequate means for collecting and publishing information about activity in the field. Its interdisciplinary scope and methodological nature, coupled with rapid changes in the technology and long undervalued contributions to scholarship, have so far thwarted the development of a practical bibliography of published and ongoing work. The lack of such a bibliography has been repeatedly and urgently noted by researchers, administrators and funding agencies, all of whom need to know what work is being done, by whom and where publications from it may be found. It seems clear from the brief attempt in the Humanities Computing Yearbook (Oxford University Press, 1988-90) that the medium of print is inadequate for the task. Current online publishing tools, however, would allow an accurate survey of arts and humanities computing to be maintained and distributed at very low cost: thus the International Database described here (link).

2007 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Wolfenden Report, a British government inquiry into homosexuality and prostitution which profoundly shaped public debate on the regulation of these sexualities (and others), in Britain and beyond.Most famously, the Report recommended that homosexual acts between consenting adults in private ought not to be an offence and 2007 also marks the fortieth anniversary of the passage of this recommendation into law in the Sexual Offences Act of 1967.This seems like a suitable moment to look at the ways in which minority/deviant/ marginalised/vilified/ sexualities have been lived, understood, regulated and constructed in the post-War period, and to that end a conference is being held at King’s College in London in June 2007 (link).

The Russell Group of the UK’s research-intensive universities today (Wednesday 30 May) strongly condemned the motion passed by the University and College Union for branches to debate the Israeli boycott.
Professor Malcolm Grant, Chairman of the Russell Group and President and Provost of UCL, said: ‘We reject outright the call for an academic boycott. It is a contradiction in terms and in direct conflict with the mission of a university. It betrays a misunderstanding of the academic mission which is founded squarely on freedom of inquiry and freedom of speech. Any institution worthy of the title of university has the responsibility to protect these values, and it is particularly disturbing to find an academic union attacking academic freedom in this way (link).

I have always hated the institutionalised and official idea of ‘community’. Communities just happen; according to the needs of that community. Here are just some of the gay social networking sites available in the UK. There are a lot more of them and they address some of the needs of that community. They range from the overtly sexual, to sedate dating sites with real-world events and meetings.
- The Circle. - Introduction service with female and male personal adverts. Predominantly lesbian oriented site.
- Closed Loop UK - A group for married gay and bisexual men seeking same sex contact outside of marriage with a single outside partner.
- Gay Dating Agency - Online dating community for gay men, with message boards, profiles and blogs.
- Gaydar - Personals and profiles for meeting people through messages, chat and webcam.
- Gaydate - Ireland based online meeting place for gay, lesbian, bisexual, or the curious. Free profiles; messages and chat are fee based services.
- Guys4Men - Free Gay Personals. Password protected, so the claims cannot be verified, but the site aims at 2-way profile matching with automatic e-mail notification of new matches.
- Jake - Social and professional network community for gay men. Regular offline events are organised for Jake members.
- Kagoul.com - Online community for gay men, with message boards, profiles and blogs.
- My Gay Prom - Five gay teenagers import from the USA the concept of a gay prom to take place in London. Part of a new Channel 4 series.
- Out Everywhere - Membership-only social community with online profiles, chat and messages. Regular offline social events are arranged. Paid membership required.
- Planet Sappho - Subscription based online dating for lesbian, bi-sexual and bi-curious women of all ages.

CHArt TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE
London Venue to be confirmed
Thursday 8 - Friday 9 November 2007
- FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS -
Museums, galleries, archives, libraries and media organisations such as publishers and film and broadcast companies, have traditionally mediated and controlled access to cultural resources and knowledge. What is the future of such ‘top-down’ institutions in the age of ‘bottom-up’ access to knowledge and cultural artifacts through what is generally known as Web 2:0 - encompassing YouTube, Bittorrent, Napster, Wikipedia, Google, MySpace and more. Will such institutions respond to this threat to their cultural hegemony by resistance or adaptation? How can a museum or a gallery or, for that matter, a broadcasting company, appeal to an audience which has unprecedented access to cultural resources? How can institutions predicated on a cultural economy of scarcity compete in an emerging state of cultural abundance?
For the twenty-third CHArt conference we are looking for papers that reflect upon these issues, particularly in relation to visual culture. We particularly welcome contributions from those working in either ‘traditional’ cultural organisations or those involved in new forms of cultural access and distribution.
We welcome contributions from all sections of the CHArt community: Art Practice; Art History; Museums; Galleries; Curation; Archives; Libraries; Education; Media and Broadcast Production; Cultural Assets Management and Access; Hardware; Software; Theory.
Please email submissions (a three hundred word synopsis of the proposed paper with brief CV of presenter/s and other key figures) by 30 June 2007 to Hazel Gardiner (hazel.gardiner@kcl.ac.uk).
CHArt is delighted to be able to confirm that a limited number of bursaries are available (supported by the AHRC ICT Methods Network) for Post Graduate students presenting papers. For further information about CHArt bursaries, please contact Hazel Gardiner.

The AHDS Spring/Summer newsletter
We’ve just published the latest edition of the AHDS newsletter. You can read it on our website or download a copy.
(http://ahds.ac.uk/news/newsletters/spring-2007/)
It includes articles on a selection of new collections available via AHDS: a slave trade database, four new collections focussed on Live Art, a corpus of early modern English dialogues and a collection of medieval stained glass with free access to thousands of images online. There is also an interesting analysis on how users search an online resource – a key finding suggests it’s difficult to anticipate the things users will look for. In another article, two researchers outline their experience of depositing their resource with the AHDS.
There’s also news on a project to unlock the potential of research, a report on standards for 3D visualisation and an entertaining debate over the value of digital images (link).

Seven major research grants in Arts and Humanities e-Science, to a total value of over £2m, have just been awarded to UK academic teams as a result of the recent AHRC-EPSRC-JISC Arts and Humanities e-Science Initiative.
The projects cover a wide range of subjects in both the arts and the humanities, from dance and music to museum studies, archaeology, classics and Byzantine history, and a wide range of e-Science technologies. A central feature of this work will be the development of advanced technologies to aid research collaboration and resource-sharing across the internet.
In addition, four of the projects have also received a four-year postgraduate studentship to train young researchers in this field of work.
By developing new and advanced methods in areas such as the image-processing of ancient manuscripts, choreography in virtual space, the computer simulation of a famous medieval battle, and the use of 3-D scanning to analyze the surfaces of museum objects, the scheme will not only open up new avenues in arts and humanities research, but will also test and extend the present range of e-Science technologies, and thus ultimately enhance their use in other domains as well. The awards are as follows (link).

“Cyberinfrastructure” is more than just hardware and software, more than bigger computer boxes and wider pipes and wires connecting them. The term was coined by NSF to describe the new research environments in which high-performance computing tools are available to researchers in a shared network environment. These tools and environments are being built, and the ACLS feels it is important for the humanities and social sciences to participate in their design and construction. Of course, scholarship already has an infrastructure: that infrastructure consists of the libraries, archives, and museums that preserve information; the bibliographies, finding aids, and concordances that make that information retrievable; the journals and university presses that distribute the information; and the editors, librarians, archivists, and curators who link the operation of this structure to the scholars who use it. This infrastructure was built over centuries, with the active participation of scholars (link).
