DIGITAL RESOURCES IN THE HUMANITIES: DRH 99
September 12-15, 1999: King's College London
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/cch/drh
===================================================
>Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 13, No. 63.
>Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London
>
> Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 08:35:35 +0100
> From: Helen Skundric <[log in to unmask]>
> Subject: DRH 99 Conference
DRH 99 @ King's College London 12-15 September 1999 is open for
registration!
The Digital Resources for the Humanities conferences are a major forum
for all those affected by the digitization of our common cultural
heritage: the scholar creating or using an electronic edition; the
teacher using digital resources as an aid to learning; the publisher
finding new ways to reach new audiences; the librarian, curator or
archivist wishing to improve both access to and conservation of the
digital information that characterizes contemporary culture and
scholarship; the computer or information science specialist seeking to
apply new scientific and technical developments to the creation,
exploitation and management of digital resources.
The conference will take up three intensive days of academic papers,
panel discussions, technical reports, and software demonstrations, in
the heart of London. The atmosphere will, we hope, encourage much
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, archives,
museums, galleries and publishing will be there, exchanging expertise,
experience, and opinions.
For the conference programme and other information visit the DRH web
site @ http://www.kcl.ac.uk/cch/drh

AHC Conference
The DRH99 conference will overlap with the annual conference of the UK
Association for History and Computing, which is to take place at
King's College London 14th-16th September 1999. The conference aims to
provide a forum for the discussion of any aspects of the use of
information and computer technology in history. In particular, it will
focus on the creation and use of digital representations of historical
resources and the effects of computer-based technologies on historical
scholarship and on teaching history. For more information visit the
conference web site @ http://www.kcl.ac.uk/ahcuk99/

ICHIM99
September 22-26, 1999 Washington, DC
http://www.archimuse.com/ichim99/ichim99.html
===================================================
International Cultural Heritage Informatics Meeting
Washington, DC, USA
Sept. 22-26, 1999
Overview
The ICHIM Conference series began in 1991. We've met every two years since
then, alternating between North America and Europe: Pittsburgh in 91;
Cambridge, England in 93, and San Diego, California, in 95. ICHIM last met
in Paris, France in 97 - over 625 people from twenty-five countries
attended ICHIM 97 at Le Louvre in Paris! Ministries of culture and
multi-institutional collaboratives were particularly well represented.
Staff from museums, archives and universities came with ambitious
documentation and public access objectives, and discussed
point-of-information kiosks, in-gallery interactives , CD-ROM publications
and the World Wide Web with their colleagues, and with international
publishers of interactive multimedia and network service providers. At each
ICHIM meeting practitioners, theorists, subject specialists, developers and
suppliers from the public and private sector meet to share ideas and
experiences.
The Program
Before ichim99 formally begins two full days of workshops help you build
your technical, social and managerial skills. ichim99 itself spans three
days: two parallel session tracks feature formal papers, panels, and many
opportunities for participant interaction. All podiums have network access,
up-to-date computer technology and high-resolution projection to ensure
that speakers have the opportunity to demonstrate, not just discuss, the
advances they are reporting. An exhibition hall features the latest from a
variety of commercial firms. Social events throughout ichim99 ensure that
everyone has an opportunity to meet informally and expand their circle of
colleagues.
Workshops
On September 22 and 23, ichim99 features a wide range of pre-conference
workshops in half-day, full-day and two day formats. These workshops have
been designed to provide educational experiences ranging from introductory
to advanced, in formats which include hands-on computer training, lectures,
seminars and interactive group sessions. Workshop instructors come from
universities, museums and commercial organizations, in the U.S. and abroad,
and have extensive experience with small group training. A great
professional development opportunity, ichim99 workshops will be attended by
many local museum staff (Washington DC has the largest concentration of
museums in the USA). Since workshop enrollment is limited and registration
is on a "first come, first served" basis, early registration is strongly
advised.
Sessions
The ichim99 Program Committee selected a wide variety of speakers and
presentation formats from the many proposals received. Presentations are
scheduled in ways that best suit their content: with 1, 2, 3, and 4 papers,
and with or without formal commentators. All sessions include substantial
time for audience discussion - the experiences of participants make a major
contribution to the meeting for everyone.
Exhibits
The range of exhibitors at ichim99, from different sectors of the cultural
heritage informatics marketplace, assures that every attendee will find
something new and interesting. In the twelve hours available for attendees
to visit exhibits you'll find products and services that will help with
your next (or current) project. Exhibits are open to conference attendees
only, and begin with a gala reception in the Exhibit Hall the evening of
September 24. On September 25 a full day of exhibits begins with
continental breakfast at 8:00 am, and closes with refreshments at 6:00 pm.

Social Events
The ichim99 Welcome Reception and the Exhibitors' Reception are rightly
renowned. This year, ichim99 will also feature a leisurely Sunday brunch -
a great time to catch up with people you haven't seen, and cement
relationship with those you've recently met. All social events are included
with full conference registration.
Proceedings
Each full conference registrant will receive the ichim99 Proceedings upon
arrival, included in the conference registration fee. Proceedings of past
years meetings are also available for purchase. ICHIM Proceedings have
become the premier sources for understanding the evolution of
computer-based interactive multimedia in cultural settings.
