We are pleased to announce a Digital Frontiers Webinar with K. J. Rawson: Building the Digital Transgender Archive | Friday, April 1, 2016 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CDT
Many archives collect transgender-related historical materials; however, these materials are notoriously difficult to access. This project will dramatically improve access to transgender history by creating a website that functions as a centralized hub for transgender historical materials. In support of this work, K.J. was awarded an ACLS Digital Innovation Fellowship for the 2015–2016 academic year.

In celebration of its Fifth Anniversary, Digital Frontiers invites members of the digital humanities community to submit proposals sharing their passions as they engage in digital endeavors.  Proposals that discuss how digital researchers situate themselves within this community of practice will be especially welcomed.

In the spirit of pushing the boundaries of humanistic work in the digital world, we are thrilled to announce that the Digital Frontiers 2016 closing keynote address will be delivered by Patrick Meier, internationally recognized consultant on Humanitarian Technology, and author of “Digital Humanitarians.”
