The conference is held at the University of Gothenburg March 14–16, 2017, and is organized by the Centre for Digital Humanities at the University of Gothenburg. Digital Humanities, Humanities Computing, Computer Applications in the Humanities or Computational Methods in the Humanities – our field has had many names throughout its history going back to the end of the 1940s when Roberto Busa started his collaboration with IBM on producing a complete concordance for the works of Thomas Aquinas. Originally, Busa did not plan to use digital computers as we know them. His idea was to use punch cards and the corresponding semi-mechanical machinery to create the concordance. From our retrospective point of view, Busa’s large number of boxes filled with punch cards seems to be extremely unsophisticated. This is of course not true. Firstly, punch cards represented the state of the art, secondly it is the scholarly method and how the available machinery is exploited to achieve the results, which are important. The same is true for DH today. Although the study and development of digital methods are important, in DH one mostly uses digital methods developed in other contexts like for example machine learning and general statistics. The extensive digitization of our everyday lives has extended DH to a meta-level. An important part of DH is the study of the digitized society – also called the study of digital cultures at some universities. This wide scholarly landscape of DH is reflected in the three main topics listed in the call for papers for DHN2017: • Nordic Textual Resources and Practices, • Visual and Multisensory Representations of Past and Present, • The Digital, the Humanities, and the Philosophies of Technology. DH activities in the Nordic countries have a long history dating back at least to the early 1980s. However, there has never been a Nordic Association for the digital and the humanities until the Swedish initiative came early in 2015 headed by professor Mats Malm from the University of Gothenburg. The organization Digital Humanities in the Nordic Countries was founded in 2015 and is now one of three DH-organizations associated to the European Association for Digital Humanities, EADH. Through EADH our organization is connected to ADHO, the global Association of Digital Humanities Organizations. The first conference, DHN2016 held in Oslo, was a big success. A second conference will usually indicate whether there still is an interest. The response to the call for paper to DHN2017 was indeed good. We received 105 proposals for workshops, panels, presentations and posters. The final programme consists of three plenary keynotes, 56 paper presentations, 4 panel sessions and 14 posters, all presented in this book of abstracts. The authors were asked to indicate the main topic of their submission. The first of the three main topics “Nordic Textual Resources and Practices” is the traditional topic in a DH conference and not unexpectedly, 46 % of the submissions were tagged with this topic. 28 % were tagged with “Visual and Multisensory Representations of Past and Present”. In this category we find cultural heritage papers, arts as well as visualization techniques used in text studies. The final topic “The Digital, the Humanities, and the Philosophies of Technology” is the least typical for traditional DH and 24 % were tagged with this category. A large part of these are about topics not so uncommon in traditional DH. However, there are also many interesting presentations on the meta-level which are not so common. In future conferences one should definitely encourage submissions with topics in this third category. In general the submissions cover a wide range of DH. Digital Humanities in the Nordic countries is indeed an active, flourishing activity. We wish to give our warmest thanks to our colleagues in the Programme Committee and the Local Organising Committee, and also to the Scientific Committee who did a splendid job in reviewing and evaluating the submissions (see also dhn2017.eu). Finally we would like to thank our sponsors for their generous funding enabling us to organize this conference: The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, Sven och Dagmar Saléns stiftelse and the Department of Literature, History of Ideas, and Religion, University of Gothenburg. Bursary funding has been generously provided by Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network, DiXiT.
