Dear AOIR, I thought that I would take the opportunity to introduce ICT Guides to you, which is a new service being offered by the Arts and Humanities Data Service at King's College, London. It seeks to promote the use of ICTs in research and learning through cataloging good-practice digital arts and humanities projects, through the tools, methods, and standards they employed. It is still in the early stages, and we would be very interested in your comments. The following new projects have been added to ICT Guides in March. (Projects): http://ahds.ac.uk/ictguides/projects/allProjects.jsp Highlight: "PARADISEC (the Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) offers a facility for digital conservation and access for endangered materials from the Pacific region, defined broadly to include Oceania and East and Southeast Asia. Our research group has developed models to ensure that the archive can provide access to interested communities, and conforms with emerging international standards for digital archiving" See: http://ahds.ac.uk/ictguides/projects/project.jsp?projectId=708 List of New Projects: * A critical edition of the Acts and Monuments by John Foxe * An Epidoc Corpus of the inscriptions from Aphrodisias in Caria; the more user friendly version is 'The Inscriptions of Aphrodisias project' * Christianization and state-formation in Northern and Central Europe c.900-c.1200 * Electronic corpus of Lute music (ECOLM) II * English Monastic Archives: Access and Analysis * European Critical Heritage : The Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe * Gendering Latin American Independence: Women's Political Culture and the Textual Construction of Gender 1790-1850 * John Ruskin's Teaching Collections * PARADISEC (the Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) * South Seas Project: Voyaging and Cross-Cultural Encounters in the Pacific (1760-1800) * Race and Labour in the Cane Fields: Documenting Louisiana Sugar, 1844 - 1917 * Text database of narrative poetry of the Italian Renaissance * The Baltic Ceramic Market c. 1200-1600: Hanseatic Trade and Cultural Exchange (Exchange visit from the British Museum, Dr D Gaimster) * The British archaeological expedition to the ancient emporium at Vetren-Pistiros, central Bulgaria * The British Book Trade Index on the Web * The Forgotten Migrants: A Cultural History of Postwar British Migrants Who Returned 'Home' from Australia * The Medieval Palace of Westminster Research Project * The Parsed Corpus of Early English Correspondence * The Pompey Project: the evolution, structure and legacy of the Theatre of Pompey * The York-Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose * Urban waterfront geoarchaeology in the Netherlands and the UK: a comparison (Exchange visit to Archeologisch en Bouhistorisch Centrum, Gemeente Utrecht, Dr Huib de Groot) * Verbum: the old Latin translation of the gospel of John * Virtual Vellum Suggestions for projects most welcome.
