Today is the 190th anniversary of the publication of the first installment of The Pickwick Papers. I thought it would be interesting to read at the original cadence. This page reveals each section on the original timeframe, offset by 190 years: mimno.infosci.cornell.edu/Pickwick/

I wrote about restoring my early digital history projects.

According to our award committee, these papers are must-reads of the #CHR2025 proceedings. Congratulations to the authors on winning the Early Career Researcher Best Paper Awards! Links and honourable mentions are available on our website: 2025.computational-humanities-research.org/news/best-pa...

We will continue to evolve the system and are grateful for any feedback or contributions from anyone interested in exploratory search, multimodal IR, or digital collections research!

Check out the recently published software paper on Digital Collections Explorer by @yh-huang.bsky.social and @bcgl.bsky.social - web-based, open-source exploratory, multimodal search for cultural heritage collections doi.org/10.1017/chr....

Do you write research software for the humanities? Consider writing a software paper to share your work! Reach out to me, @nolauren.bsky.social , or any of the other editors at the CHR journal with your questions or ideas.

Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for working with us to publish proceedings from the 2025 Digital Humanities Tech Symposium in the new ACH anthology. This volume collects short papers from a DH2025 pre-conference event hosted by @dhtech-community.bsky.social

Are you hosting a workshop or conference series that would like to publish peer-reviewed proceedings or other materials in the Anthology of Computers and the Humanities? Reach out to Taylor Arnold @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for more details!

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that. So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more. Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort! bit.ly/ach-anthology

Can AI be creative if it doesn't believe it can? We asked 556 humans and 13 LLMs to judge creative writing. Then we lied about who wrote what. Result: AI has learned to distrust itself, showing 2.5× stronger bias than humans against AI-labeled creativity. Proud of this work with @mmvty.bsky.social 👇

📣 New preprint! We know humans are biased against AI-creativity. But what about LLMs, now often judging creativity in various contexts? Do they replicate, transform, or amplify this bias? We tested it. Turns out: AI is 2.5X more biased against its own work than humans. arxiv.org/pdf/2510.08831 🧵

I'm very pleased to share my new article on the python library undate, which is an ambitious in-progress effort to make it easier to work with incomplete dates and multiple calendars, building on work from Shakespeare and Company Project, Princeton Geniza Project, etc. doi.org/10.1017/chr....

And we feature software papers! Check out @suttonkoeser.bsky.social Julia Damerow, Robert Casties, Cole Crawford exciting work on working with dates in computational humanities!

📢 Don’t miss the first articles from CHR’s themed issue, Expanding the Toolkit: Large Language Models in Humanities Research! Read the issue #openaccess here: 📚 cup.org/4lvH2Ow #computationalhumanities #CHR @comphumresearch.bsky.social @nolauren.bsky.social @folgertk.bsky.social

After publishing our conference proceedings with CEUR for 5 years, we need a new venue. 🚨 How do we ensure that the CHR proceedings remain free, accessible, and interdisciplinary? 🖥️ Join the discussion and share your thoughts here: discourse.computational-humanities-research.org/t/call-for-i...

It's a new year and "A New Phase for Derrida’s Margins" 🌘 @jerielizabeth.bsky.social interviews @suttonkoeser.bsky.social on the decision and process of transforming Derrida’s Margins into a “read-only” version and discusses the challenge of defining endings and potential futures for DH projects.

FINISH the year with STARTWORDS! Announcing the release of Issue 5: Processes 🎉 This issue features the work of 3 leading grad students from CDH using data curation and visualization to highlight the importance of everyday, historical people whose lives may otherwise have remained unknown to us.

@miguelev.bsky.social following up on our conversations about data physicalization - here is my work from a few years ago: startwords.cdh.princeton.edu/issues/1/dat...

Thanks again to all the organizers and presenters at #CHR2024 for such a great conference and so many good conversations. I'm continuing to process and take in all the things I learned, as I share insights with my colleagues at @princetoncdh.bsky.social .

Averting the Digital Dark Age: How Archivists, Librarians, and Technologists Built the Web a Memory is released _today_. You can buy a copy, or, you can read it FOR FREE via Project MUSE. Please spread the news to your colleagues, your friends, your syllabus makers. muse.jhu.edu/book/123276

Javier Cha and Roopika Risam will be the keynote speakers of @ADHOrg #DH2025. Know more about the keynotes here: dh2025.adho.org/keynotes/

Keynote by @laurenfklein.bsky.social! 🎉 "When Theory Leads: Towards a Humanities-Forward Model of Computational Research" This talk is a response to the idea that humanities people can only contribute to LLMs by improving model output as "AI tutors," "prompt engineers," "consultants." #chr2024

Excited for @laurenfklein.bsky.social keynote @comphumresearch.bsky.social #chr2024 on When Theory Leads!

There’s still time to nominate yourself or someone else to be part of a panel for the US-RSE conference this fall. How does research domain impact #RSE work? forms.gle/zYTJMb9m2D8e...

Is there something qualitatively different about being an RSE in the humanities? Are we behind the sciences in adoption, or is it something else? What about other domains? We’re facilitating a conversation at US-RSE’24 and want your perspective.

We are looking for panelists for a US-RSE '24 Birds of a Feather conversation “RSEs in domain-specific ecosystems”. For more details and to indicate your interest to be a panelist, please complete the nomination form by July 15. forms.gle/SqAutkgAKkTH...
