Talk session – Scholarly Societies and DH

What should scholarly societies be doing to help embed digital scholarship in our disciplines? MLA and AHA, along with other societies, have been active in creating guidelines for digital scholarship related to tenure and promotion for some time now. Additional work—such as organizing THATCamps, providing digital scholarship training at association meetings and elsewhere, organizing panels, etc—has also helped to promote and engage with digital scholarship. Is this the correct way for scholarly societies to connect with and advance the use of digital tools and methods with the humanities? What else should we or could we be doing?
