The Digital Resources for the Humanities conferences are a major forum for all those affected by the digitization of our common cultural heritage: the scholar creating or using an electronic edition; the teacher using digital resources as an aid to learning; 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 computer or information science specialist seeking to apply new scientific and technical developments to the creation, exploitation and management of digital resources.
The Current Chair of the DRH Standing Committee is Jean Anderson, School of English and Scottish Language and Literature, Glasgow University (SESLL). The Current Secretary is Alastair Dunning, from the Arts and Humanities Data Service.
The overall organisation of DRH conferences is the responsibility of the DRH Standing Committee, which comprises representatives from the Sponsoring Organisations (see below). Conferences 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 Protocol:
