The Mellon seminar in Digital Humanities at UCLA has published “A Digital Humanities Manifesto” which allows users to comment on individual paragraphs or the entire document. Between the initial post and the 70ish comments on the page emerges an interesting discussion about what – exactly – characterizes the digital humanities, the role of print media in the practices and projects of the digital humanities, the shifting relationships between experts and amatuers, and the impact of all of this on the boundaries of institutions and disciplines.

Thanks for correcting it! Not a problem–feel free to remove my comments if you want.
Thanks for the correction, Dave! I misread the bottom of the post, where the “project” of the Institute of the Future of the Book must be “CommentPress.”
Hi Rachel,
I just wanted to say thank you for publicizing our manifesto. However, I wanted to correct a small error — the blog is published by the Mellon Seminar in Digital Humanities at UCLA, not the Institute for the Future of the Book. Thank you!
Best,
David
