The Executive Council of the Association for Computers and the Humanities is delighted to announce its second round of Microgrants.

We invite proposals that will advance the goals and mission of the ACH, to support computer-assisted research, teaching, and software and content development in humanistic disciplines.

This MLA 2014 session—organized by the ACH—will feature presentations that offer interpretations of texts, language, literature and/or literary history that definitely began with a digital approach.

Last year, the Association for Computers and the Humanities strongly advocated for “open access to federally-funded research and research publications, and the inclusion of humanities voices in... crucial conversations” about public access to public goods, in an open letter to the US White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Today, the ACH Executive Council celebrates a groundbreaking OSTP policy memorandum.

Like many in the global DH community, members of the ACH Executive Council were saddened to learn of the death of our friend Lisa Lena Opas-Hänninen, chair of ALLC, the European Association for Digital Humanities.

Great news for students, early-career professionals, and unwaged or low-waged independent scholars!

You can now join ACH as a joint ADHO member at the extremely low cost of $25.

We are pleased to announce the results of the 2012 ACH elections held earlier this month.

Elected to fill a one-year vacancy on the Council is Ernesto Priego.

Today, the ACH is celebrating a very favorable ruling for digital research and fair use in a United States district court. This summer, we joined a group of 46 digital humanities scholars in filing two amicus briefs in lawsuits related to digitization of in-copyright and orphaned works in the Google Books and HathiTrust corpora.
