Call For Papers
The Past’s Digital Presence:
Database, Archive, and Knowledge Work in the Humanities
A Graduate Student Symposium at Yale University
February 19th and 20th, 2010
How is digital technology changing methods of scholarly research with
pre-digital sources in the humanities? If the “medium is the message,”
then how does the message change when primary sources are translated into
digital media? What kinds of new research opportunities do databases unlock
and what do they make obsolete? What is the future of the rare book and
manuscript library and its use? What biases are inherent in the widespread
use of digitized material? How can we correct for them? Amidst numerous
benefits in accessibility, cost, and convenience, what concerns have been
overlooked? We invite graduate students to submit paper proposals for an
interdisciplinary symposium that will address how databases and other
digital technologies are making an impact on our research in the humanities.
The graduate student panels will be moderated by a Yale faculty member or
library curator with a panel respondent. The two-day conference will take
place February 19th and 20th, 2010, at Yale University.
