Welcome
The Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities (IDAH) is a center under the Office of the Vice Provost
for Research. IDAH links a network of disciplinary experts, faculty, and support staff who work in
interdisciplinary teams on collection-building, tool-building, and the development of appropriate
methods for study and analysis of collections. The expertise of the faculty from the School of
Informatics and Computer Science, School of Library and Information Science, and highly qualified
professional staff at the Digital Library Program and University Information Technology Services work
together with the disciplinary expertise of the arts and humanities faculty to redefine research and
scholarship in the arts and humanities on the IU Bloomington campus.
The public presentations that IDAH organizes bring together scholars, librarians, publishers,
information technology experts, and academic administrators to build a dialogue about academic
culture and the role of information technology in the future of scholarship and creative activity.
The Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities helps Indiana University faculty members expand
digital arts and humanities research and creative activity through a faculty fellowship period and
with the assistance of a team of specialists.
IDAH's team of experienced software developers collaborates with units throughout IU to build
open source tools and applications that help faculty create methods to analyze, preserve, and
access digital arts and humanities materials.
Decoding Digital Humanities
Last Updated on Tuesday, 06 September 2011 16:49
DDH is back for the 2011-2012 Academic Year!
Come to the IUB chapter of Decoding Digital Humanities! All are welcome.
Decoding Digital Humanities is an informal gathering for those who are
interested in all things digital, providing an opportunity to mingle, share
ideas, discuss readings and raise questions surrounding the field of digital
humanities. Decoding Digital Humanities chapters are active in the U.K. and
Australia and provide opportunities to engage in international discussion
forums.
The September meeting will take place on Friday, September 30th, from
4-6 PM at the IU Memorial Union Starbucks. The theme for September is, "Issues of Representation
in Digital Imaging." For the meeting please read Melissa Terras' "Artefacts and Errors:
Acknowledging Issues of Representation in the Digital Imaging of Ancient Texts."
As digital images of primary sources become more accessible, many scholars tend to interact with
images of sources rather than with the sources themselves. What are the scholarly implications of this
move? Can we trust our digital surrogates, and if not how can we trust our readings of them? Although
Terras' article focuses on sources used for study in the Classics, the issue will be of interest to any
scholar who uses primary sources, no matter the discipline or time period.
