The computer-assisted tools, methodologies & structures through which those in the arts & humanities pursue their disciplines -- the humanities 'mind technologies' -- have come increasingly to the forefront in recent years. Arising in part from recent meetings between the Consortium for Computing in the Humanities (COCH/COSH) & the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the volume is the first to document the internationally significant work of the Canadian academic community in this area. Addressing issues of funding, research & innovation, these articles focus on the individuals & organisations whose work has shaped recent computing application technology. This collection is an invaluable resource for scholars, librarians & students across Canada with an interest in the rapidly widening domain of humanities computing the post-secondary environment.
