For those who attended the digital humanities workshop at ACIS-CAIS 2014 on June 11th, or for those who could not make it, below you will find a list of some of the resources and links raised at the sessions. If participants see anything I’ve left out, please feel free to contact Nicholas Wolf (nicholas.wolf@nyu.edu) and we’ll get those items added right away. Do keep in touch as we approach the deadline for next year’s conference and as we consider next steps for useful workshops and the future of DH at ACIS.
Many thanks to all participants for suggesting topics, leading discussions, and helping to make the day a success. And many thanks again to the UCD Humanities Institute for its support of the workshop, and to Malcolm, Valerie, Tony, Gerardine, and Niall for all of their help in assisting with logistics.
