NINES Workshop in Digital Scholarship

This is a week-long workshop for scholars undertaking digital projects
in nineteenth-century British and American literary and cultural
studies. The workshop will be held at the University of Virginia, 18-22
July 2005, and will provide a practical setting where scholars can work
at the development of their individual projects with other scholars who
have shared interests, goals, and problems to be addressed. The
theoretical, technical, administrative, and institutional issues
connected to the development of digital scholarly work will focus the
workshop's activities, which will be organized around and driven by the
needs of the specific projects themselves.

The workshops will be run by faculty and staff at U. of Virginia
involved with the NINES (Networked Infrastructure for
Nineteenth-century Electronic Scholarship) and ARP (Applied Research in
Patacriticism) projects.

Additional information is available at:
http://www.nines.org.

Everyone accepted into the workshop will have their lodging,
breakfasts, and lunches provided during the period of the workshop.
There will be a workshop fee of $350.

* HOW TO APPLY *
