We are pleased to announce the 2012 Digital Humanities Summer Institute! The DHSI at the University of Victoria provides an ideal environment for discussing and learning about new computing technologies and how they are influencing the work of persons in the Arts, Humanities and Library communities. The institute takes place crosswise a week of intensive coursework, seminar participation, and lectures. It brings collectively faculty, staff, and graduate students from different areas of the Arts, Humanities, Library and Archives communities and beyond. During the DHSI, we share thoughts and methods, and renovate expertise in applying advanced technologies to our teaching, research, broadcasting and preservation.
