Description:
The World Wide Web of Humanities project (funded by the JISC Digitisation Programme) aims to establish a framework for e-Humanities (also called Digital Humanities) research using available open source tools and technologies and archived web content to create novel research interfaces to the first of many, scholarly, e-Humanities web collections.
This event presented the results of this project in the context of general panel discussions about the role of digitisation in the practices of humanities researchers now and in the future.
