The fourth annual Day of Digital Humanities took place on March 27th, 2012.

A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities (Day of DH) is a project looking at a day in the work life of people involved in humanities computing. Every year it draws people from across the world together to document, with text and image, the events and activities of their day. The goal of the project is to weave together the journals of participants into a resource that seeks to answer, “Just what do computing humanists really do?"

ETRUS member Craig Harkema participated; Craig's blog is here: http://dayofdh2012.artsrn.ualberta.ca/charkema/.

ETRUS members Peter Robinson, Brent Nelson, and Frank Klaassen are presenting a paper on the Textual Communities project at the 2012 symposium of Interedition, "Scholarly Digital Editions, Tools and Infrastructure,"March 19-20, The Hague.
