Workshop at ADHO DH 2025, Lisbon, Portugal

The theme of the DH2025 emphasizes openness and accessibility of scholarly knowledge. Following this idea, the AVinDH SIG invites all the interested parties – from complete novices to hard core wizards – to join our workshop to discuss the present status and future avenues of research on AV materials within the DH.

All DH2025 attendees are welcome to join. One does not have to be a member of the AVinDH SIG, although we would be delighted to have you join our mailing list here!
