About the Book

The computer-assisted tools, methodologies, and structures through which those in the arts and humanities pursue their disciplines- the humanities “mind technologies”- have come increasingly to the forefront in recent years. Arising in part from recent meetings between the Consortium for Computing in the Humanities (COCH/COSH) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), this volume is the first to document the internationally significant work of the Canadian academic community in this area. Addressing issues of funding, research and innovation, these articles focus on the individuals and organizations whose work has shaped recent computing application technology. This collection is an invaluable resource for scholars, librarians, and students across Canada with an interest in the rapidly widening domain of humanities computing in the post-secondary environment.
