I’m planning my Master’s thesis around DH history. Excellent idea.

As a definite newbie and as someone who thinks about these types of questions in terms of the early years of print, I’d find this useful and interesting. If it would be useful to have someone uninformed to look at how things are presented and to ask the sort of questions that might be asked by the uninitiated, I would love to help!

I am very interested in participating. My experiences with ACH began in the early 1980’s. I was among the first to support faculty use of microcomputers in the Humanities in the University of North Carolina System.

I have many anecdotes and stories from those days and more recent times too.

Let’s Talk,

What could be better than using our DH tools and approaches to generate the discipline’s own “proof of principle”? Further, it definitely makes sense to create a central contextual model now–let’s strike while the iron’s hot!

And absolutely, Wikipedia cross-effort should be made.

In terms of oral histories, I’ve got that process down and can bring a good quality pocket camcorder (plus other stuff) if we think that we want to record some interviews with THATCamp attendees.

Hope that can be a part of this.

Something the project could enable is the preservation and explanation of competing narratives of the origins and growth of the field.
