Research in the digital humanities has experienced explosive growth and development in the last ten years. Two important factors have contributed to this progress: firstly, the very strong mobilisation of scientific and scholarly communities to engage with this emerging field in all humanities sectors; secondly, the extraordinary progress of digital tools and capacities. This has resulted in a profusion of initiatives at all levels: major digitisation projects led by libraries and academic institutions, digitisation of corpora of all kinds and for all periods, and multiple research projects with targeted objectives.
The aim of the Channels of Digital Scholarship seminar series is to reflect upon the use of digital humanities, digital tools for analysis, dialogue between disciplines, and institutional structures that support the wide range of projects that are being developed. This series of seminars is organised by the Maison Française d'Oxford and Digital Scholarship @ Oxford, with the help of other digital humanities initiatives in Franco-British and international perspectives.
