The Digital Humanities BeNeLux initiative has issued a call for papers for the 5th annual conference, taking place June 6-8, 2018 at the International Institute for Social History (IISH) in Amsterdam. The conference, which focuses on “data or research projects related to Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg,” invites papers from a variety of fields towards the theme, “Integrating Digital Humanities.”
