The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) is pleased to submit this proposal to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to convene in cooperation with the Foundation a group of leading scholars for a one-day workshop to achieve two goals: (i) promote digital humanities by identifying a series of long-term research challenges at the intersection of the humanities, social sciences, and computation; and (ii) document the findings of the workshop in parallel print and electronic publications to support subsequent discussion from the concerned communities. Organizing this workshop responds to recommendations set forth by the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences that call upon concerned organizations to exhibit leadership and advance digital scholarship, and is consistent with goals articulated by NEH and other public agencies.
