Overview

arts-humanities.net home page

Arts-humanities.net* is developed and maintained by the Centre for e-Research at King's College London. The project originated in 2008 as a joint initiative between Information and Computer Technology (ICT) Guides database and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) ICT Methods Network.


The project's main goal is to advance and promote the use of digital tools and methods for research and teaching in the humanities and arts. It acts as a stepping-stone to a wide variety of scholarly projects and articles that support and implement tools and technology used in the field. The project houses a networked community where members can participate in discussions, comment on work, contribute information, and peruse job postings.

Purpose

Significance

Arts-humanities.net is significant in that it provides a comprehensive taxonomy of defined methods used to gather, organize, and assess data found in many digital humanities projects. This is helpful in that it allows users of the site to expand and articulate methods and data management systems used in their own work. The site also supplies a detailed list of software tools, thus providing a broad tool-belt that all users can learn and draw from. Of great importance to arts-humanities.net is the intent to develop a strong community of academics and scholars working towards the same aim of furthering projects, funding new ones, and general support for the digital arts and humanities. Lastly, according to Dr. Torsten Reimer's presentation, one of the site's most visited areas is the job postings section, which has obvious significance to those individuals looking for work within the digital humanities.
