Collaborative Research Practices and Shared Infrastructures for Humanities Computing

The Italian Association for Digital Humanities (AIUCD) was launched in 2011 to promote and disseminate methods and facilitate scientific collaboration and development of useful resources in the field of digital humanities in Italy. AIUCD is an associate organization of the European Association for Digital Humanities (EADH), which brings together and represents the Digital Humanities in Europe across the entire spectrum of disciplines that research, develop, and apply digital humanities methods and technology. AIUCD is thereby represented in the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) which promotes and supports digital research and teaching across all arts and humanities disciplines, acting as a community-based advisory force, and supporting world-wide excellence in research, publication, collaboration and training. We are very pleased to present the volume of the proceedings of the 2nd Annual Conference of the Italian Association for Digital Humanities (AIUCD 2013) on “Collaborative Research Practices and Shared Infrastructures for Humanities Computing”, which took place at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua, 11-12 December 2013.
