The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) is an annual digital humanities training program held in June at the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada. DHSI now attracts over 600 participants [1] for a week of courses, forum discussions, paper sessions, and unconferences.

History

DHSI started in 2001 at Vancouver Island University (then Malaspina C-U). The inaugural DHSI included lead speakers Susan Hockey (University College London), Nancy Ide (Vassar C), Willard McCarty (Kings College London), and John Unsworth (U Virginia). Susan Schreibman (U Maryland), Ray Siemens (U Victoria), and staff from the Centre for Digital Humanities Innovation were instructors.[2] In 2004, DHSI moved to the University of Victoria, where it currently resides. [3] It is estimated that as of 2012, there were approximately 1,800 alumni of the institute, with a large portion returning multiple years to take further courses. [4]

In past and present, major overarching themes of DHSI have included collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and the creation and cultivation of a larger Digital Humanities community beyond the structure of the typical academic environment. [5] Especially noted has been the opportunity for digital humanists at all stages of their careers, levels of expertise in the field, and roles in the contribution to the Digital Humanities to engage and network with each other.
