About the Publication
The Digital Humanities Congress was inaugurated as a biennial event by the Humanities Research Institute and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Sheffield. It was held in Sheffield from 6–8th September 2012 with the support of the Network of Expert Centres and Centernet. The conference was intended to promote the sharing of knowledge, ideas and techniques within the digital humanities and we had a varied programme comprising 66 international speakers from disciplines across the arts, humanities and heritage domains. This digital edition of the conference proceedings presents 28 of the papers, including two of the three keynote presentations.
The keynote speakers were: Professor Andrew Prescott (Head of Department, Department of Digital Humanities, King’s College London); Professor Lorna Hughes (University of Wales Chair in Digital Collections at the National Library of Wales); Professor Philip Ethington (Professor of History and Political Science, University of Southern California and Co-Director of the USC Center for Transformative Scholarship).
