#DH folks! My colleague & I are looking for participants for a #DH2020 forum on engaging with #DigitalHumanities at institutions without a DH center. We're looking especially for non-faculty members. Let me know if you're interested!
A fascinating looking resource for #digitalhumanities scholars: "For newcomers, there’s a lot to be excited about at the intersection of technology and the humanities. The DHLG is your slim guidebook into this world". cmu-lib.github.io/dhlg/
"This book refocuses the conversation by shifting the emphasis from sheer archival comprehensiveness to the sweep of long timelines." @Ted_Underwood in Distant Horizons.

Many novel stories can be found in the archives of digital humanities. Whether it is a story about the first Internet worm (Nov. 2nd, 1988) or the origins of #ProjectGutenburg in 1971, @digdiv2015 provides an array of digital publications in a rich timeline. #English#History
