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.

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)
