Hi folks,

Hello from DH2024, which I’m enjoying very much - so good to see so many folks,
and hear about such great work.

I was wondering if anyone knew what was happening to EADH? It doesn’t have a
presence at the annual ADHO conference here at DH2024, there is no members
meeting, and there is no AGM. There have been no social network posts for
months, and the website is at least a year out of date. I’ve been trying to
contact the executive, and no-one has approved my message to the list, or
replied to my query (see email chain below).

This isn’t just about the fact that EADH isn’t engaging or supporting with its
membership, and hasn’t turned up to the annual ADHO conference - its also about
the governance of significant amounts of money tied to the DSH journal
subscriptions, from both individuals and institutional subscriptions.

Is everything ok with EADH? Does anyone know what is going on….? Is anyone else
concerned?

Melissa

Dear EADH Executive,

I asked this question yesterday on the EADH list and it has not been approved to
be sent.

Please can you tell me when and where the AGM of EADH members will take place?
Will there be a meeting at DH2024 for the community? If not, why not?  If the
AGM isn’t here - when and when were it will be?

This isn’t just about the organisation of a scholarly association: it’s also
about the appropriate governance of a substantial amount of membership fees,
that support various mechanisms in our community.

Is there a crisis in EADH? Nothing has been posted to the social media for some
time, no-one is approving the email list posts, and there seems to be no
community representation at DH2024. Can someone tell me what is going on?

Hi folks,

I was surprised to not find an AGM meeting listed on the DH2024 programme in
Washington DC this week. Is there going to be a meeting of EADH members? And if
the AGM isn’t here at the Digital Humanities conference this week, where and
when will it be?

Thanks!

Melissa
