Our colleagues at JISC recently passed along a call for papers (PDF) for the Digital Resources in the Humanities and Arts conference, which is to be held at the University of Cambridge from September 14-17. Given our recent work with JISC, this year's conference theme is particularly compelling: discussions of "new collaborative environments, collective knowledge and redefining disciplinary boundaries." The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2008, so act now!

On Wednesday, April 23, NEH had the pleasure of welcoming Mike Toth and Doug Emery from the Archimedes Palimpsest project, who shared their gained wisdom after years of overseeing the conservation, preservation, digitization, and transcription of a fragile and very valuable manuscript.

As you may have seen in today's Chronicle of Higher Education, the NEH has just announced our new Humanities High Performance Computing initiative -- HHPC for short. Our goal is to start a conversation about how high performance computers -- supercomputers -- can be used for humanities research. We are working with colleagues at the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation to provide you with information on how high performance/grid computing and data storage might be used for work in the humanities. We are also announcing a new grant competition with DOE to award time and training on their machines. ...

I'm very happy to say that the NEH's Division of Research has just posted the guidelines for our new "NEH Fellowships at Digital Humanities Centers" program ("FDHC" for short). The NEH first announced this program back at the CNI conference in December of 2007, but now the full guidelines are available. I would encourage all humanities centers to check out this new program and consider applying. The deadline is September 15th, 2008. In a nutshell, FDHC allows centers to apply for funding to bring in a visiting fellow to work on one or more humanities projects.
As a bit of background, this new grant program was inspired in part by the ACLS Cyberinfrastructure report,...

Last week I flew out to Indiana—my first trip to the state—to give two grant workshops, one at Indiana University in Bloomington (home to one of the largest student unions in the country), and another at IUPUI in Indianapolis (home to one of the newest student unions in the country). Grant workshops are truly a give-and-take affair. We might come to showcase grant offerings at NEH and give tips about the application process, but we also benefit enormously from the communities we visit, learning about potential and existing projects, the needs of faculty and staff, and even ways that we can improve our communication and outreach.
Part of my tour of the Bloomington campus included a visit to the relatively new Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities (IDAH), including a chance to sit in on their brown-bag lunch series. David Shorter, one of four IDAH fellows,...

I just returned from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Research Fair. It was a great opportunity to give the UNL faculty an update about the NEH. I also had a nice tour of the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities. [...]

Andy Guess wrote a nice piece in today's Inside Higher Ed called "Rise of the Digital NEH." It mentions the new Office of Digital Humanities and discusses some trends in digital scholarship.
