Dear Willard, and HUMANIST Readers,

We're just in the final throes of our preparations for the sixth Digital
Humanities Summer Institute, which runs June 18th to 22nd at the University
of Victoria. On Monday, we're looking forward to opening our doors to some
125 participants, representing participation from all continents, save
Antarctica -- and, I should note, we're already making plans for our 2008

This year's institute features a mix of foundational offerings and a number
of new intermediate and advanced workshops and consultations, as well as a
