</italic>
A Conference to be held at the
University of Sydney
26th - 28th September 2001
</center>
<italic>Computing Arts: Digital Resources for Research in the Humanities
2001</italic> will explore the impact of digitisation on the humanities,
and will focus on new methods of creating, using and conserving the
resources which comprise our common cultural heritage.
<italic>Computing Arts 2001</italic> will focus on the impact of new
technologies on research and creative endeavour, on teaching and
learning, on publishing, on conservation and curation, on librarianship
and archiving. It will be the first forum of its kind in the region to
bring together practitioners in such a wide range of disciplines. It will
provide a formal ongoing focus for researchers, scholars and librarians
in the region to discuss their work in all its aspects and applications,
and to develop networks and collaborations to extend the use of new
technologies into the traditions of humanities research, study and
appreciation.
We are planning in addition a number of workshops in partnership with
other Australian universities and libraries. These will focus on new
tools and techniques in humanities computing applications, and will be
relevant to a broad range of disciplines in the humanities.
Computing Arts 2001 is held in association with the Digital Resources for
the Humanities (DRH) organisation in the United Kingdom, and is supported
by The Australian Academy of the Humanities and the National Scholarly
Communications Forum. Sponsors for the conference include Bell and
Howell Information and Learning.
