The Australian e-Humanities Gateway is designed as a reference point for those involved in or seeking information about projects and events concerned with the use of digital resources in humanities disciplines in Australia. It is an initiative of the Australian e-Humanities Network, a group funded by the Australian Research Council, including representatives from the Australian Academy of the Humanities, the University of Sydney and the University of Newcastle. The central component of the Gateway is a searchable database containing details of current projects in the e-Humanities field across a broad spectrum of disciplines in Australian universities. Individuals are encouraged to submit details of their project for inclusion in the database, acceptance being subject to a review process by the Network. News on current activities and events in the e-Humanities field will also be available on the website, and through an e-Humanities bulletin, to which individuals may also submit items. An overview of digital resources available to humanities researchers not familiar with the field will also be an essential component of the Gateway.
