The Executive of the Association for Computers and the Humanities  is delighted to announce a call for Microgrants.

We've posted the CFP for the next Digital Humanities conference!

The Association for Computers and the Humanities invites nominations for this year's elections. We are electing a president, vice-president, and three Executive Council members, and seek candidates for all these offices who want to advance the field of digital humanities by helping to run the ACH.

There are perhaps not many fields in the humanities that can trace their roots to certain individuals, collaborations, and innovative new approaches. But within the application of computing to humanities problems one name looms large.  Roberto Busa, one of the pioneers of humanities computing, died in Italy on Tuesday (November 13. 1913 - August 9, 2011).

This is intended as a brief report on the ACH Annual General Meeting that took place during the Digital Humanities 2011 conference at Stanford.

DH 2011 will take place at Stanford University June 19-22, and will feature workshops, an exciting program of papers, posters, and panels, and plenary talks by David Rumsey, Chad Gaffield, Erez Lieberman-Aiden, and Jean-Baptiste Michel. See you under the big tent!
