Workshop at ADHO DH 2026, Daejeon, South Korea

2026 marks the 10th iteration of AudioVisual & DH Special Interest Group (AVinDH SIG) events at the ADHO annual conference. Established in 2014, the SIG has now reached the point where it is timely to reflect on the developments in the field, and to jointly plan the future of our community.

The theme of the DH2026 emphasizes “Engagement.” Building on this idea, the AVinDH SIG invites all ADHO conference attendees to join this workshop to share work in progress and to discuss the present state and future avenues of research on AV materials within the Digital Humanities. You do not have to be a member of the AVinDH SIG to register, although we would be delighted to have you join our mailing list here!
