The Digital humanities Observatory is holding a clinic on 1 December 2008 to provide an opportunity for project partners to come together to share experiences, discuss common concerns and participate in a series of guided discussions on issues particular to carrying out a project in the digital humanities.
The agenda is posted below.
All participants are asked to fill out a brief Powerpoint template to provide background information about their project to other attendees. This will help to inform others about the nature of your project as well as identify collaborative opportunities and guide the day's discussion. Please note that examples of content for each slide are included in the slide notes. Please contact dot.porter@gmail.com or s.day@dho.ie if you have any questions about these templates.
Project template to be filled out prior to the clinic.
