Thanks to everyone who attended the PGH|DH gathering earlier this month!  At the meeting, many people expressed an interest in a pan-Pittsburgh Digital Humanities or Digital History reading group.  Here it is!

PGH|DH Social Gathering

Posted on by
CMU is hosting its first Pittsburgh Digital Humanities social event in two weeks, on February 2nd, 4:30-6pm in the Hunt Library, Studio B. Meet like-minded researchers, and catch up on what’s going on in our very DH-y city. Inspired by Alison Langmead’s DHRX events, we will have light refreshments (though no alcohol this time — sorry!). Students, faculty, and staff who are already engaged in DH research are welcome to attend.
