GridBriefing on the Topic of eHumanities Released

 

The GridBriefings from the European project GridTalk illustrate the potential of grid technologies by telling success stories of Europe's e-infrastructure. The new GridBriefing focuses on the topic of eHumanities and showcases TextGrid among other European grid projects.

"The era of eHumanities has arrived. No longer consigned to manuscript, memory or museums, digitisation is transferring the humanities to our computers. 'Our original sources are scattered in many ways: historical documents in archives and libraries, works of art in museums, archaeological finds in ancient sites, disappearing languages on the tongues of native speakers,' says Peter Doorn, director of the proposed humanities infrastructure, DARIAH."
