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 You can register at: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/cch/drhahc/regis/howtoreg.htm 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.

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. For information about exhibiting at ichim99, email [log in to unmask] 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. =============================================================== David L.
