Digital Resources in the Humanities and Arts (DRHA) is a series of annual conferences whose goal is to bring together the creators, users, distributors, and custodians of digital resources in the arts and humanities.
For more than a decade it has been a key UK meeting place for all those affected by the digitization of cultural heritage: the scholar creating or using an electronic edition; the teacher using digital resources as an aid to learning; the artist seeking to engage with digital technologies in new and creative contexts; the publisher finding new ways to reach new audiences; the librarian, curator or archivist wishing to improve both access to and conservation of the digital information that characterizes contemporary culture and scholarship; the information scientist seeking to apply new scientific and technical developments to the creation, exploitation and management of digital resources.
The Chair of the DRHA Standing Committee is Christopher Pressler, Director of Research and Learning Resources at The University of Nottingham. The current Secretary is Lou Burnard, Assistant Director at Oxford University Computing Services.
The Standing Committee is responsible for overall organization of the DRHA conferences, which are held annually within the UK. The academic programme of each conference is overseen by a Programme Committee appointed for that conference, while the practical arrangements for running the conference are managed by the particular host institution.
The organisation and running of DRH conferences is governed by a published Protocol
