centerNet is an international network of digital humanitiescenters formed for cooperative and collaborative action to benefitdigital humanities and allied fields in general, and centers ashumanities cyberinfrastructure in particular. It developed from ameeting hosted by the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanitiesand the University of Maryland, College Park, April 12-13, 2007 inWashington, D.C., and is a response to the American Council ofLearned Societies report on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanitiesand Social Sciences, published in 2006. Since its inception inApril 2007, centerNet has added over 200 members from about 100centers in 19 countries. Regional centerNet affiliates have beenestablished in Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and the U.K.and Ireland, each with a steering committee. In 2009, centerNetbecame a founding member with DARIAH, CLARIN, PROJECT BAMBOO, andADHO of CHAIN: the Coalition of Humanities and Arts Infrastructuresand Networks. In June 2010, centerNet formally affiliated with theConsortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) in order topursue an ambitious agenda of initiatives on matters of mutualinterest. Together, the two organizations hope to fosterdisciplinary innovation and transformation in the humanities.
If you think your center is a digital humanities center, in whole or in part, then we???d be glad to have you join the network. We leave the definition of ???digital humanities??? up to you, but we intend to be inclusive, and we know that there will be cross-over into the social sciences, media studies, digital arts, and other related areas. This might include humanities centers with a strong interest in or focus on digital platforms. One caveat???a ???center??? should be larger than a single project, and it should have some history or promise of persistence.
