Subject: Re: 17.772 a brief history of humanities computing
At Humbul we have followed this thread with intense interest. Humbul does
indeed have a Humanities Computing top-level subject,
http://www.humbul.ac.uk/humanities-it/ , which we could be your first port
of call, both for searching for resources or for suggesting new resources
for Humbul to catalogue. There is a Suggest a Resource link on every page
in Humbul.
Humbul will catalogue any online humanities computing resources that comply
with our collections development policy and I would like to suggest that we
would draw together records around a topical theme like the history of
humanities computing, (for recent examples take a look at
http://www.humbul.ac.uk/topics/ ). Humbul topics can take different forms
but they share the common goal of drawing connections between resources -
often connections that no single search on Humbul could replicate.
With regards, Alun
