>Mission: DRH97 aims to become a new forum for all those affected by
>the digitization of our common cultural heritage: the scholar producing
>or using an electronic edition; the teacher using digital media in the
>seminar room; the publisher finding new ways to reach new markets; the
>librarian, curator, art historian, or archivist wishing to improve both
>access to and conservation of the digital information that
>characterizes contemporary culture and scholarship.
>
>Format : The conference will take up three intensive days of academic
>papers, panel discussions, technical reports, and software
>demonstrations, held this year in a comfortable Oxford college. The
>atmosphere will, we hope, encourage a lot of energetic discussion, both
>formal and informal. Leading practitioners of the application of
>digital techniques and resources in the Humanities, from the worlds of
>scholarship, librarianship, and publishing will be there, exchanging
>expertise, experience, and opinions.
>

>Office for Humanities Communication, the Arts and Humanities Data
>Service, the Centre for Computing in the Humanities of Kings College
>London, the International Institute for Electronic Library Research
>of de Montfort University, the Library of University College
>London, and the Humanities Computing Unit of Oxford University.
>
>Timetable: Proposals are invited for academic papers, themed panel
>sessions and reports of work in progress. Extended abstracts (1500 to two
>thousand words) should be submitted by April 7th 1997. All proposals
>will be reviewed by an independent panel. Full versions (2 to 4
>thousand words) of accepted papers will be required by July 7th 1997
>for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
>
>Themes: creation of digital resources, textual, visual, and
>time-based; integration of digital resources as multimedia; policies
>and strategies for electronic delivery, both commercial and
>non-commercial; cataloguing and metadata aspects of resource discovery;
>pedagogic implications of digital resources and electronic delivery;
>encoding standards; intellectual property rights; funding,

>programme). For accommodation, delegates can choose between ensuite rooms at 45
