Workshop on Early Bengali Materials 1778-1914:

Digitisation and Research

A New Digital Humanities Resource to Transform Scholarship

National Library, Kolkata, 6-7 January 2011

The Higher Education Cell (HEC) of the Centre for the Study of Culture and

Society, Bangalore, the British Library (BL), London and the UK's Arts and

Humanities Research Council (AHRC) are jointly organising Digital Knowledge

Exchange workshops in India. This is part of a series of strategic engagements

among researchers and institutions in the UK and India, investigating the

opportunities of BL's immense South Asia collections being accessible online.

A forthcoming workshop to be hosted and co-organised by the National Library,

Kolkata on 6 and 7 January 2011, will discuss one such initiative: opportunities

surrounding the digitization of early Bengali materials. It is anticipated that this

workshop will provide a model extendable to other Indian regions and languages.

The HEC is seeking to support up to 10 researchers to participate in this

workshop. The HEC, in partnership with the hosts, the National Library, Kolkata,

and the research partner, the School of Cultural Texts and Records (SCTR),

Jadavpur University, will organise transport and accommodation for participants.

Applications are sought from researchers based in India with an interest in any

aspect of Bengali language, history or culture AND/OR specialists in digital

humanities who are interested in the transformative potential of digital resources

more generally. We encourage applications that stimulate an interdisciplinary or

multidisciplinary approach. Potential partnerships with UK researchers, who will

also attend the workshop, will be explored during the workshop. The participation

of the UK-based researchers will be coordinated by the AHRC, UK.
