DH Infrastructure Symposium

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the 2018 DHIS! We’ve linked the presentation slide decks to the titles of their talks below. If you have any feedback about the symposium, please share it with annelie@humnet.ucla.edu.

We enthusiastically invite you to join us at UCLA on November 15, 2018 for the third annual Digital Humanities Infrastructure Symposium. Our focus this year is on some real-world built and building platforms and methods to support DH researchers. We welcome anyone interested in learning from what has been done in practical, infrastructure-building terms — especially technologists, library staff, and those involved or getting started in building DH capacity.
