Digital Humanities Working Group
The Digital Humanities Working Group provides a synergistic, interdisciplinary environment that develops new knowledge through informatics research and prepares the next generation of humanities scholars. It does so by developing innovative computing tools, digital library collections, and hypertextual archives of broad and significant academic and educational value to the humanities. The group sponsors a public lecture series and a seed grant program. The group plans on hosting best practices workshops, short courses, and symposia.
Digital Initiatives Research & Technology
The Digital Initiatives group within the Texas A&M University Libraries is a hybrid organization, charged with both conducting research into cutting-edge digital library technologies, as well as providing various services to the TAMU Library community. This twofold charter can be seen clearly in the projects to which we devote our time. Ventures such as the DSpace XMLUI project represent the research end of our efforts, while the collections we maintain in the TAMU Institutional Repository, TxSpace, is a good example of a services we provide to the university community, cataloguing and preserving scholarly data for TAMU researchers.
Glasscock Center for Humanities Research
The Glasscock Center is dedicated to fostering and celebrating the humanities and humanities research among the community of scholars at Texas A&M University and in the world beyond the academy. In addition to bringing scholars together around a particular theme for lecture series and conferences in alternate years, the Glasscock Center awards annually a national book prize, the Susanne M. Glasscock Book Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship. The Glasscock Center also supports humanities students and faculty at Texas A&M University with a number of funding opportunities, including release fellowships, cross-disciplinary travel grants, stipendiary fellowships, and co-sponsorship grants for lectures and symposia. Fellows and grant recipients are integral to the Center’s on-going programs and activities, such as monthly colloquia, humanities working groups, and the Humanities Informatics lecture series. In alternate years, the Center holds a conference and series of events organized during the academic year, where faculty and graduate students present their works-in-progress to gatherings of interested colleagues.
