Overview[]
The Canadian Society for Digital Humanities (CSDH) (also Société canadienne des humanités numériques (SCHN)) is a Canada-wide association of representatives from Canadian colleges and universities that was founded in 1986 as the Consortium for Computers in the Humanities/Consortium pour ordinateurs en sciences humaines.
Its objective is to draw together humanists who are engaged in digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation. The society fosters work in the digital humanities in Canada's two official languages, and champions interaction between Canada's anglophone and francophone communities, in all areas reflected by its diverse membership: providing opportunities for publication, presentation, and collaboration; supporting a number of educational venues and international initiatives; acting as an advisory and lobbying force to local, national, and international research and research-funding bodies; working with allied organisations; and beyond.
