Following two successful years in Oxford the Digital Resources in the Humanities Conference (DRH98) will be held in Glasgow in 1998. In 1999 it will be held at King's College London. DRH98 is the internationally recognised forum for all those involved in and benefiting from the digitisation 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 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 characterises contemporary culture and scholarship. FORMAT The conference will take up three intensive days of papers, panel discussions, technical reports, and software demonstrations, between the evening of 9th September 1998 and lunchtime on the 12th September 1998. 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. SPONSORS To date, sponsors of the conference include the British Library, the Office for Humanities Communication, the Arts and Humanities Data Service, the Centre for Computing in the Humanities of Kings College London the Library of University College London, the Humanities Computing Unit of Oxford University and the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute at the University of Glasgow. PROPOSALS Proposals are now invited for academic papers, sessions, discussion panels, and reports of work in progress. Proposals (500 - 1000 words) should be submitted by 15th February 1998. An independent panel of reviewers will evaluate proposals, and notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 31st March 1998. Abstracts of all the accepted proposals from registered participants will be included in a volume distributed at the conference. Papers will also be considered for a post-conference publication. See for submission details.

Information and communication technologies are important tools for creating, sharing, and preserving cultural knowledge through the presentation and representation of museum objects. Today, this includes not just the atoms of real exhibitions, but the bits accessed by remote visitors from classrooms and living rooms all over the world. Anyone concerned with information technology and museums - educators, registrars, curators, archivists, librarians, managers, designers, systems analysts, writers, lawyers - will find MCN '98 a key professional event. Technology, administration, legal issues, design concerns, research and commercial implications will all be discussed from the perspective of museum applications and the diverse audiences for which they are created. The five-day program includes: * Pre-conference seminars and workshops on practical topics ranging from strategic planning to communication technology tools. * A three-day technical program on information technology and museums. * A two-day exhibit hall showcasing commercial products. * Special interest group meetings. * Reception at the new Getty Center and the MCN Silent Auction. Walking distance from downtown Santa Monica's fine restaurants and shops, the conference will be held at the four star Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel with sweeping views of the Pacific. We look forward to seeing you there! MCN '98 session topics may address infrastructure, software tools, hardware innovations, successful approaches to problems, or any of a variety of technical solutions to knowledge creation, sharing, and preservation issues. Proposals may address ideas and issues in any area of museum computing. For submission details see ===================== =============================================================== David L.
