ADHO - Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations

The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) promotes and supports digital research and teaching across all arts and humanities disciplines, acting as a community-based advisory force, and supporting excellence in research, publication, collaboration and training. [1]

ADHO is an umbrella organization comprised of four humanities computing organizations. They manage the main publications and conferences that are shared among its constituent organizations.

Conference

The DH (Digital Humanities Conference) is the main conference in Humanities Computing held annually by the ADHO in june. The conference, that alternates between Europe and North America, was created by combining the separate conferences held by ALLC and the ACH in 1989.[2]

ALLC - Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing

The Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing was founded in 1973 with the purpose of supporting the application of computing in the study of language and literature. As the range of available and relevant computing techniques in the humanities has increased, the interests of the Association's members have necessarily broadened, to encompass not only text analysis and language corpora, but also history, art history, music, manuscript studies, image processing and electronic editions. [3]

Publication

LLC - The Journal of Digital Scholarship in the Humanities published on behalf of the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing and the Association for Computers and the Humanities.

ACH - Association for Computer and the Humanities

Digital humanities is a broad term encompassing a wide range of subject domains and communities of practice, including computer-assisted research, pedagogy, and software and content development in humanistic disciplines like literature and language studies, history, or philosophy. DH also engages with the critical relationship between digital technologies and humanities methods, and the ways they may influence each other.[4]

SDH-SEMI -The Society for Digital for Digital Humanities/La Société pour l'étude des Média Interactif

The Society for Digital Humanities / Société pour l'étude des médias interactifs is a Canada-wide association of representatives from Canadian colleges and universities that began in 1986, founded as the Consortium for Computers in the Humanities / Consortium pour ordinateurs en sciences humaines. Our objective is to draw together humanists who are engaged in digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation.[5]

centerNEt

centerNet is an international network of digital humanities centers formed for cooperative and collaborative action to benefit digital humanities and allied fields in general, and centers as humanities cyberinfrastructure in particular. It developed from a meeting hosted by the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities and the University of Maryland, College Park, April 12-13, 2007 in Washington, D.C., and is a response to the American Council of Learned Societies report on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences, published in 2006. Since its inception in April 2007, centerNet has added over 200 members from about 100 centers in 19 countries.[6]
