Digital Research in the Humanities and Arts [DRHA] is an annual 
conference whose goal is to bring together the creators, users, 
distributors, and custodians of digital research and resources in the 
arts, design and humanities to explore the capture, archiving and 
communication of complex and creative research processes. DRHA provides 
an intellectual and physical space for cross-disciplinary discussion and 
the generation of new ideas, resulting in many new networks and 
productive research relationships

Human beings, as users, have always been obsessed with finding new ways 
of communicating through various techniques and technologies.
The rapid technological changes that have occurred during the last two 
decades have allowed us – the users – to communicate through various 
social media platforms, providing us with more easily, faster and more 
frequently ways of communicating.However there are always concerns about 
other impacts those technologies might have on the communication processes.

The aim of the conference is to facilitate conversations on Design and 
collaborations between

Digital Arts and Humanities,
Creative Industries,
Digital Libraries and Archives,

For the first time the DRHA conference would like to support and bring 
together the Academic environment with that of the Creative industries 
under a conference that will affect the current interdisciplinary 
creative practices.

Keynotes Including:
-Google LAB Executive Creative Directors
- Prof. Federico Casalegno, Director of the MIT Mobile Experience Lab, USA
- Prof Janis Jefferies - Professor of Visual Arts and Associate Pro 
Warden Culture and Creative Industries".

About DRHA

For over 11 years DRHA: Digital Research in the Humanities and Arts 
(Previously named: Digital Resources in Humanities and the Arts) 
continues to be a key gathering for all those are influenced by the 
digitization of cultural activity, recourses and heritage in the UK and 
the world.

A series of annual conferences whose goal is to bring together the 
creators, users, distributors, and custodians of digital research and 
resources in the arts, design and humanities to explore the capture, 
archiving and communication of complex and creative research processes. 
This includes: Scholars, teachers, artists, publishers, librarians, 
curators or archivists who all wish to extend and develop access and 
preservation regarding digitized information rendered from contemporary 
culture and scholarship; the information scientist seeking to apply new 
scientific and technical developments to the creation, exploitation and 
management of digital resources.

DRHA provides intellectual and physical space for cross-disciplinary 
discussion and the generation of new ideas, resulting in many new 
networks and productive research relationships. The DRHA conference 
started at Dartington, and it was a development from the DRH conference 
series which began at Oxford in 1997

Every year the conference is moving to a different Academic Institution 
which supports and successfully run the conference.

Recent conferences at Dartington, Cambridge, Queen’s University
Belfast, Brunel, and Ningbo-China, have welcomed colleagues from many
research fields and professional backgrounds, from academia and the
worlds of design, performance and fine art, exploring themes such as: 
DynamicNetworks of Knowledge and Practice (2009); Sensual Technologies:
Collaborative Practices of Interdisciplinarity (2010), and Connected
Communities: global or local2local? (2011).
The last one took place at University of Winchester: Reconceptualising 
Digital Creativity; Re-mapping Behaviour,
Engagement and the way we Archive in the 21st Century (2013)
