Digital Humanities Gets Federal 'Office' Space
The National Endowment for the Humanities has decided that digital technology is here to stay, apparently. The agency just announced that what used to be their Digital Humanities Initiative is now the Office of Digital Humanities.
“Time to get those new business cards printed, I suppose!” blogged Brett Bobley on the official NEH Web site.
In addition to the presumed new cards and new building signs (changing DHI to ODH), one real but small change will be transforming the DHI—er, ODH e-mail newsletter to a Web-based update with an RSS feed.
And it’s true that an office does have a more permanent feel than an initiative. The mission, though, remains the same: To help scholars figure out new ways to analyze, preserve and teach materials using digital formats. —Josh Fischman
