Don't forget the deadline is looming for submitting proposals for the PrintNetworks/CPHC annual conference which this year is in Cornwall. The theme is Print, Printing and Industrial Heritage (surfboards welcome!) www.cphc.org.uk/updates/2025...
Delighted to be funded under this programme with @guyda.bsky.social and other brilliant colleagues, working on differentiating print with computer vision!
JUST ANNOUNCED: Schmidt Sciences has awarded $11M to 23 teams globally for our Humanities and AI Virtual Institute (HAVI). These projects bring AI to history, archaeology, literature, and film, unlocking new understandings of human culture. Learn more: buff.ly/tvTUYwY

If you'd like to see all the canceled NEH grants at variance with agency priorities that allegedly will fail to inspire your confidence in use of taxpayer funds, go explore impact.ach.org. Then contact your representatives about this outrageous cull.

The National Endowment for the Humanities is an essential force for good. Rare Book School affirms the vital importance of @nehgov.bsky.social in supporting programs and grants that enrich the cultural understandings of our citizens, our communities, and our nation.
Now they are coming for book history – and why wouldn't they? They think that books only belong on shelves.
Please read this post that my colleague and collaborator, the amazing @patriciaingham.bsky.social, wrote about our 2024–2027 NEH grant that was terminated by DOGE last week #medievalsky #humanitiesinitiatives (cc @altnehgov.bsky.social)
