This is a fascinating looking #digitalhumanities position at the University of Oregon. https://t.co/SOI45s9wfF

A fascinating looking resource for #digitalhumanities scholars: "For newcomers, there’s a lot to be excited about at the intersection of technology and the humanities. The DHLG is your slim guidebook into this world". https://t.co/WKXUxSnAqu

Hello, fellow researchers, thinkers, tweeters! Have you found CWRC useful for your research? We’d love to hear how! Please feel free to comment or send us a DM to share your stories and insights!

Many novel stories can be found in the archives of digital humanities. Whether it is a story about the first Internet worm (Nov. 2nd, 1988) or the origins of #ProjectGutenburg in 1971, @digdiv2015 provides an array of digital publications in a rich timeline. #English #History

[CWRC Project @CWRCproject]

@MAPP_Project Congratulations!

[CWRC Project @CWRCproject]

Are you curious about the history of English-language publishing in Canada? So are we. From urban origins, economic hindrances, to current digital transformations, CWRC is dedicated to mapping these transformations in an online venue.
