I am incredibly excited to see FLDH–begun at THATCamp-Florida as a discussion, then the convening of a group as the founding FLDH executive council and steering committee, now successfully move to this next stage of development with its first election!

As the FLDH About page explains:

Digital technologies have transformed how we seek and share information, build relationships and communities, and think about ourselves and our identities.
These interactions between human beings and the world we live in is a core interest in humanities disciplines such as history, literature and writing, philosophy, religion, art, music, and others.
The Florida Digital Humanities Consortium is a collective of institutions in the State of Florida that seeks to promote an understanding of the humanities in light of digital technologies and research.
Its mission is to provide a platform for studying and discussing digital tools, methods, and pedagogies as well as for educating teachers, faculty, and the public about the multiple, interdisciplinary ways humanities research and computing impact our world. It meets annually to identify issues of interest and to set goals for future collaboration and digital humanities research.

FLDH is progressing and growing with an ever-growing FLDH General Membership, the first official election, and new representatives elected to the executive council. This all shows the strength and growth of FLDH, and shows the potential being realized for statewide collaboration in Florida on DH!
Congratulations and thanks to all FLDH Executive Council Members for their service!
I’m excited to see what comes next, and hope to see so many new faces (and friendly known faces!) through participation in FLDH!
