Nines Community Group: Nineteenth-Century Digital Humanities


A NINES community group has just been formed to discuss topics related to nineteenth-century DH issues. This was in response to a perceived need discussed in THATCamp Victoria 2011. Please join us and enter the discussion!

Here are some of the issues we might discuss:
  • What are the special issues for 19th-century DH scholars?
  • How can we use digital tools to focus on the materiality of the text?
  • How does TEI need to be improved to meet the demands of the print culture of the period?
  • Explosion of digital texts makes access better, but how to cope with scholar overload and usability?
