They're currently accepting proposals. </p> <p>Here's some info:</p> <blockquote><p>The digital revolution has made massive amounts of historical and social science data available to scholars in electronic formats, and this phenomenon is opening new possibilities for exploring the human past. The ability to plot historical processes embedded in these datasets using mapping and visualization tools holds remarkable promise for providing scholars new insights into old questions.</p> <p>This project brings together leading scholars and practitioners from multiple disciplines (geography, history, geographic information science, computer science, graphic arts, among others) to explore the potential of visualization work for humanities research.</p> <p>We invite proposals for presentations at a workshop that will be held on February 20-21, 2009 at the University of Richmond. The project is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and directed by the University of Richmond and James Madison University.</p></blockquote> <p>For more information, go here: <a href="http://dsl.richmond.edu/workshop/" rel="nofollow">http://dsl.richmond.edu/workshop/</a> </p>
