arts-humanities.net is an online hub for research and teaching in the digital arts and humanities. It enables members to locate information, promote their research and discuss ideas. It aims to support and advance the use and understanding of digital tools and methods for research and teaching in the arts and humanities – and all fields and disciplines working with(in) them.
arts-humanities.net records information on digital scholarship, mostly through a catalogue of arts and humanities research projects and a taxonomy of methods used in digital research (mostly for creating digital resources), and related activities, such as academic events. The site catalogues information on activities such as projects, tools, methods, events and calls for papers; it also provides more in-depth information through briefing papers and case studies; and it has an interactive component that allows members to comment on these resources, contribute information and post announcements and participate in discussions.
It also gives members access to profiles for over 1300 other members, to facilitate networking.
The project was initially developed for the AHRC ICT Methods Network and was later merged with the ICT Guides project.
