UK-Hum-IT was established in 1998 to provide a
means of initiating collaboration between the varied and numerous
centrally-funded projects which have both a significant element of C&IT
and direct their efforts towards the humanities. Although the core of
UK-Hum-IT is a closed Mailbase list, it was decided to put together a Web
page which gave some idea of the range of projects and services available
and attempt to categorise them according to subject area. The subject
classification below is roughly based on the RAE units of assessment and
those established by the Arts & Humanities Research Board. Please
address all comments and suggestions to the group's current co-ordinator,
Michael Fraser, CTI Textual Studies (email:
mike.fraser@oucs.ox.ac.uk).
