> The DRH conferences have established themselves firmly in the UK and
> international calendar as a major forum bringing together scholars,
> postgraduate students, librarians, archivists, curators, information
> scientists and computing professionals in a unique and positive way, to
> share ideas and information about the creation, exploitation, use,
> management and preservation of digital resources in the arts and 
> humanities.
>
> At this, the tenth DRH conference, we plan to encourage papers and 
> sessions
> that focus on critical evaluation of the use of digital resources in 
> the
> arts and humanities.  What has the impact really been?  What kinds of
> methodologies are being used?  What are the assumptions that underlie 
> our
> work?  How do we know that the work that we accomplish is truly new and
> innovative? How does technology change the way that we work?
>
> The Conference will also address some of the key emerging themes and
> strategic issues that engagement with ICT is bringing to scholarly 
> research
> in the arts and humanities, with a particular focus on advanced 
> research
> methods.  The kinds of questions that we would like to see addressed 
> might
> include the following: what sort of research does ICT in the arts and
> humanities enable researchers to do that could not be done before at 
> all?
> Does this enable 'old' research to be done in a significantly new way? 
> In
> what ways does the technology serve the scholarship?  Similarly, what 
> are
> the key aspects of virtual research environments ("cyberinfrasture") 
> which
> can facilitate collaborative research?
>
> Proposals for individual papers, sessions, workshops and posters are
> invited, and the abstract submission system at the conference website 
> will
> be accepting proposals from January 31st, 2005.
>
> Types of presentation for which proposals are invited:
>
> Papers
>
> Proposals for papers should be no less than 750 words. Papers will be
> allocated 30 minutes for presentation, including questions.
>
> Sessions
>
> Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either:
>
> Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement
> describing the proposed session topic, and include abstracts of no 
> less than
> 750 words for each paper. The session organizer must also indicate 
> that each
> author is willing to participate in the session;
>
> or
>
> A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an
> abstract of 750-1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be
> organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each
> speaker is willing to participate in the session.
>
> Poster Presentations
>
> Poster presentations may include computer technology and project
> demonstrations. Posters presentations may be a more suitable way of
> presenting late-breaking results, or significant work in progress. 
> There
> should be no difference in quality between poster presentations and 
> papers,
> and both will be submitted to the same refereeing process.
>
> As an acknowledgement of the special contribution of the posters to the
> conference, the Programme Committee will once again award a prize for 
> the
> best poster presentation.
