About the Group
The Digital Humanities Discovery Group, sponsored by William & Mary Libraries, is an interdisciplinary research group interested in widening awareness and stimulating new conversations around the broadly defined field of Digital Humanities as well as generating future collaborations in research and teaching at William & Mary. This group welcomes faculty, professional faculty, staff, and students of William & Mary.
The group’s mission is to bring faculty, professional faculty, staff, and students interested in the Digital Humanities together to foster conversation, learn from each other’s successes and failures, open possibilities for collaboration, and build a scholarly community at William & Mary.
We welcome those with any level of digital humanities or digital scholarship experience. For those already engaged in this work, please come and share your knowledge. For those with no prior experience, please join us on this journey of learning together. You do not have to be a humanist to be involved, as digital humanities is an interdisciplinary field that welcomes all.
Meetings could take the form of training, networking, lightning talks, roundtables, round robin sharing, reading groups, guest lectures, field trips, or conference watch parties.

Fall Schedule
To make sure as many people as possible can make the meetings this semester, we will be doing Monday and Tuesday meetings each month this semester. The days and times were picked based on your feedback in the survey. The meetings will be hybrid when it makes sense, and we will send out a link the week before. Feel free to come on Monday or Tuesday for the full hour or only part of the time as your schedule allows.
