(The objective of the archive is collect and publish course materials in humanities computing.)
The Centre for Computing in the Humanities at the University of Toronto maintains an online archive for syllabi and other course-materials in humanities computing.
The objective of the archive is to collect and publish such materials so as to assist beginning instructors and to allow a clearer understanding of the field to develop from the evidence of individual efforts around the world.
The archive is for courses whose major focus is humanities computing, computing in the liberal arts, or other interdisciplinary form, including those in computer science.
It is not meant to document all applications of the computer to academic subjects, e.g. to language instruction, except if the consequences of using the computer take a prominent role in the course.
The archive is also intended for descriptions of workshops in humanities computing, course proposals, essays and discussions of curricula.
Submissions to the archive are most eagerly invited. They should be edited and formatted for online display, then sent by e-mail to Willard McCarty at this address:
mccarty@epas.utoronto.ca
Please note that only materials prepared for online display can be accepted. This means they have to be in plain-ASCII (DOS format), with hard returns at the end of each line, margins set to about 65, and all accented characters encoded according to a scheme explained at the beginning.
Graphics and software, suitably compressed and encoded, are welcome, but anyone with such things should consult with me first. For materials on a computer accessible by Gopher, only the Gopher address is needed.
Each file should be clearly identified as to the instructor, department, course number, and institution.
The Toronto Archive is visible by gopher, to gopher.epas.utoronto.ca, under Centre for Computing in the Humanities, Humanities computing resources. Since some of the materials are not held at Toronto, anonymous-ftp to ftp.epas.utoronto.ca, /pub/cch/courses/, will not access everything shown by gopher.

Due to the unanticipated level of its success, the journal _TEXT Technology_ will be substantially expanded. Starting with Volume 4 (the 1994 calendar year), each issue will contain more articles and reviews--many of them presenting subjects in greater depth.
The journal will be published quarterly, and the Editorial Board will be expanded. The format will also change to 7-by- 9-inch pages with perfect binding.
The full title of the publication will now more completely describe its contents: _TEXT Technology, The Journal of Computer Text Processing_.
_TEXT Technology_ will continue to publish articles and reviews about all facets of using computers for the creation, processing, communication, and analysis of texts. It is designed for academic and corporate researchers, writers, editors, and teachers.
The quarterly journal contains timely reviews of books and software, discussions of applications for the analysis of literary works and other texts, bibliographic citations, and much more.
Recent issues of _TEXT Technology_ have contained articles about the ideal computing lab for composition classes, counting the amount of quotation in novels, programming in Icon, converting documents from Macintosh to PC formats, as well as reviews of books about Internet and reviews of new versions of WordPerfect, AmiPro, and OS/2.
Submissions of articles are welcome. They should be sent to the Editor as ASCII files via e-mail to:
JohnsonE@columbia.dsu.edu.
Writers of book or software reviews are encouraged to contact the Editor before submitting reviews.
Authors will normally receive notices of acceptance and referees' comments promptly via e-mail.

The aim of OLDNORSENET is to provide a forum for discussion of problems that concern the medieval Scandinavian and North Atlantic societies. The network will be open for contributions from researchers in all branches of medieval studies concerning the Nordic area. Our hope is to start a lively and open discussion of new and old problems within the subject, and that ideas and suggestions will be presented and discussed by the members of the network.
We hope that the participants realise the importance of not using the network for personal feuds that should better be solved in personal correspondence so that the rules for contributions to the network can be as loosely formulated as possible.
Any one who wishes to contribute to the network should include his or her e-mail-address in all contributions so that personal answers could be directed outside the list. Owner of the network is: Forum foer fornnordisk forskning (Center for Old Norse Studies), Gothenburg University.
The administrator of the network is:
Karl Gunnar Johansson Gothenburg University E-mail: kgjohansson@svenska.gu.se
All messages to the distribution network "OLDNORSENET" shall be sent to:
oldnorsenet@hum.gu.se
To subscribe to OLDNORSENET, please write a letter to:

(The goal of the Initiative is to gain a voice for the humanities and the arts in the development of the National Information Infrastructure.)
by Chuck Henry
At a critical meeting on January 17, the ad hoc steering committee of the National Initiative on Humanities and Arts Computing met to plan the next steps in gaining a voice for the humanities and arts in the development of the National Information Infrastructure, the much-publicized plan for a national telecommunications system.
The group agreed on a number of action items. The Getty Art History Information Program, the Coalition for Networked Information, and the American Council of Learned Societies-- the sponsors of the National Initiative--will convene two working groups to develop a profile of humanities and arts computing in the United States.
In the coming three months, these working groups will gather a nationwide array of experts in scholarly, instructional, and creative computing in order to draw a picture of the breadth and vitality of technology in the humanities and arts.
The Working Group on Technical Requirements will define the particular challenges that these fields pose for technology. The Working Group on Electronic Resources will survey the range and variety of computer-based information and tools, available and in development for transmission on the electronic superhighways.
The findings of these working groups will be presented in June to a National Task Force, comprised of major organizations and institutions involved in humanities and arts computing in America.
The goal of this process is to reinstate the values and basis for community that the humanities and arts bring to the dialogue shaping public policy. The sponsors recognize that this goal requires gaining the recognition and support of the Clinton-Gore administration if the special needs of this vital community are to be met.
Only a coordinated National Initiative can secure a future for the American people's cultural heritage in the digital environment, and guarantee the network as a medium of creativity and learning.
The Getty Art History Information Program will provide the seed money for these initial steps, with the expectation that other interested organizations will demonstrate their commitment to the National Initiative through significant contributions, according to their means.
At a meeting of the Coalition for Networked Information on November 19, 1993, this National Initiative was launched by a group of twenty-five concerned leaders in the movement to automate humanities and arts information.
At that time the group produced the following statement of purpose:
The absence of the humanities and arts in the development of a national information infrastructure ignores the value of the American people's cultural heritage, and the network as a medium of creativity and learning, in the crucial formation of technology policy.
The members of the Task Force on a National Initiative for Humanities and Arts Computing endorse the principle that humanities and arts voices are critical--indeed equal to the recognized interests of the sciences--in the balanced development of the nation's technological infrastructure.
Reinstating the humanities and arts in the dialogue shaping this public policy is of utmost urgency. We call for the reintroduction of the humanities and arts in the formation of such policy.

April 18, 1994
Paris
Present: Nancy Ide, Michael Neuman, Randall Jones, Charles Bush, Eric Dahlin, Christian Delcourt, Estelle Irizarry, Willard McCarty, Elli Mylonas, John Price-Wilkin.
Meeting brought to order by R. Jones at 16.15. Turned the chair over to Nancy Ide. Welcomed new members.
Added items to agenda: Reports from three committees.
1. Proposal for ALLC/ACH '96
Proposal for 1996 ALLC/ACH conference--University of Bergen. Formal proposal will be presented at ALLC meeting later today.
2. President's report
Numerous activities in North America of interest to ACH members. National Initiative on the Humanities and Arts (Chuck Henry). A recent meeting was held and a task force is being formed. We need to move more into the political limelight. TEI guidelines are completed and at the printer. Concerns about lack of publicity and information about registration for conference. At first a proposal was made for a formal concern to ALLC. Instead an informal conversation took place between Nancy and Susan Hockey.
3. Treasurer's report
Membership is down to 145; quite a ways down from last year. Many payments by credit card. We now have an e-mail version of the membership form. Elli suggested that an electronic version of the brochure be sent to all members to be forwarded to anyone who might be interested. Chuck suggested that we design a special e-mail version of the brochure. Elaine will send the new brochure out on HUMANIST.
Current account balance is $1869.26, of which $1500 is encumbered for the ACH Newsletter. BYU and UCSB have been generous in subsidizing the cost of mailing and the Newsletter.
4. Newsletter Report
We will be able to continue with 4 issues per year. The electronic version is still going out, but there are a lot of returned mailings. We need more and diverse articles. Willard has some interesting stuff on gopher to submit. Elli was selected to write a report on the ALLC/ACH conference. Willard will find someone to write a brief article on Word Wide Web and Mosaic.
5. CHum report
Glyn Holmes was not present, but CHum seems to be going better. The issues are caught up and the quality is good. Nancy encouraged EC member to be on the look-out for good articles.
6. HUMANIST report
Elaine: HUMANIST now has more than 2000 members with 100 distribution sites. There is a certain backlog of biographies. Elaine spoke of the possibility of putting HUMANIST on a web server. There is a need for good material by ACH members. Christian noted thanks to HUMANIST for assisting in the dissemination of information about the conference. Willard suggested that we go both with a gopher- like system as well as a listserv. Even if just the archives could be available on gopher it would be good. Willard suggested that a discussion be started as to what the ACH wants HUMANIST to be. Glyn should send a table of contents to HUMANIST and the Newsletter each time an issue appears. Estelle will contact Glyn. Michael asked about the material that needs to be re-packaged for distribution. The entire EC should really assume the responsibility of being involved.
7. TEI Report
Nancy Ide: Guidelines are out. Report on Wednesday.
8. MLA
Joel not here, but Elaine gave report. Lot of interest in electronic texts at the highest level of MLA. MLA wants to sponsor a summer school. About 20% of members are giving e- mail addresses. Joel reported that one 94 MLA session is fine, the other is uncertain. Betina Huber is now working with technology.
9. ACH/ALLC-95
Eric Dahlin: Looking good. Tentative dates are 11-15 July. When program committee has been chosen, Eric can proceed with call for papers.
10. National Initiative
Nancy Ide: Nancy attended a meeting in Washington recently. There is a movement outside ACH that is concerned about the NII (National Information Initiative) and the lack of humanities and arts involvement. Chuck Henry is the co- chair. Sponsored by Getty. Want to write a white paper. Two committees: Technical requirements and Resources.
11. Nomination committee
John Price-Wilkin, Michael Neuman, Elli Mylonas, Chuck Henry, Nancy Ide (ex officio).
12. Program Committee
We need to appoint 4 members for the 1995 program committee, one of whom is the program chair. Elaine Brennan (chair), Willard McCarty, Marianne Gaunt, Nancy Ide were suggested. The document for future meetings is still uncertain. The question was raised about whether or not program committee members may submit a paper. We decided to continue with current propocol.
13. Conference protocol
ACH and ALLC are trying to come to an agreement on the protocol for future conferences. The conference is one of the benefits of ACH membership. ALLC is considering reducing the number of people on the program committee. They want to reduce the length of abstract from 1500-2000 words to 1000 words. They are proposing that reviewers know the name of the proposers. They want that program committee members may not submit proposals. Nancy feels that more matters have to be made specific. Discussion: Elli, Elaine, and Willard agree that abstracts should not be shorter than 1500-2000 words. Should there be reviewers?
Christian pointed out that the task of evaluating a paper for a conference is much different than evaluating a paper for publication. He suggests that the program committee should be the paper reviewers. He also suggests that the local organizer should have the freedom of selecting a few papers. We will need to continue the discussion.
14. Communication
We need to do a better job of dissemination of information. Willard volunteered to maintain a gopher dissemination program, especially humanities teaching syllabi. But he will need help. The counsel is in favor of supporting this.
The council will have to carry on more business by electronic mail during the coming year.
Discussion of the constitution and by laws will be carried on via e-mail.
Meeting adjourned at 18.00.
