Digital Humanities: Conferences

The mission of The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) is to promote and support digital research and teaching across all arts and humanities disciplines, acting as a community-based advisory force, and supporting excellence in research, publication, collaboration and training. The ADHO organizes and sponsors an annual conference. 

ACH is the United States-based constituent organization in the Alliance for Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO). Our most important activities center on cultivating and strengthening the field of digital humanities, and providing guidance and support to those entering the field. ACH hosts a conference every other year with their inaugural conference held in July 2019.

Digital Frontiers is a community that explores creativity and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries in the arenas of public humanities and cultural memory. Established in 2012 to respond to the need for an affordable, high-quality conference that addressed the emerging field of digital humanities from a variety of perspectives, Digital Frontiers is a truly interdisciplinary experience. Our annual conference brings together scholars and students, librarians and archivists, genealogists and public historians to share their experience of using digital resources in the humanities. Satellite events and professional development opportunities further enrich our inclusive community.

DHSI is a time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures.  Participants at DHSI share ideas and methods, and develop expertise in using advanced technologies. Every summer, the Institute brings together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Library, and Archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond.  DHSI is held annually at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

The Digital Library Federation is a community of practitioners who advance research, learning, social justice, and the public good through the creative design and wise application of digital library technologies. Our member institutions make the work of the DLF possible, supporting community efforts in a variety of research and prototyping, information sharing, staff development, networking, and catalytic initiatives. However, individuals are invited to participate in DLF working groups and events regardless of institutional status. DLF serves all who are invested in the success of libraries, museums, and archives in the digital age.  DLF holds an annual event, DLF Forum.
