NINES Workshop in Digital Scholarship
This is a week-long workshop for scholars undertaking digital projects in
nineteenth-century British and American literary and cultural studies. The
workshop will be held at the University of Virginia, 18-22 July 2005, and
will provide a practical setting where scholars can work at the development
of their individual projects with other scholars who have shared interests,
goals, and problems to be addressed. The theoretical, technical,
administrative, and institutional issues connected to the development of
digital scholarly work will focus the workshop's activities, which will be
organized around and driven by the needs of the specific projects
themselves.
The workshops will be run by faculty and staff at U. of Virginia involved
with the NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-century Electronic
Scholarship) and ARP (Applied Research in Patacriticism) projects.
Additional information is available at:

Everyone accepted into the workshop will have their lodging, breakfasts, and
lunches provided during the period of the workshop. There will be a workshop
fee of $350.
