CTDH is an annual event intended to foster collaboration and community among digital humanities students and practitioners across all disciplines and from all tyles of institutions. The in-person conference is free and open to all who are interested in attending.
Our inaugural conference was held on February 28-29, 2020 at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. Over a hundred people, including librarians, technologists, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, attended from throughout New England, and as far away as Austria. Out of the conference grew a commitment to the development of a digital humanities network in New England.
CTDH 2021 took place over the month of February 2021, with virtual sessions every Friday afternoon. The conference ended with an art+feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon the first week of March organized by Trinity College in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation and the Connecticut Digital Archive.
After a four year hiatus, the third CTDH took place on February 21-22, 2025 at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. The conference featured demonstrations of the campus’s XR Lab, eSports Center, and AI corridor, keynote talks from artist Mike Alewitz and historian Joseph Adelman, and presentations from DH professionals and students from across New England.
The fourth CTDH will take place March 19-20, 2026 at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT.
