The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) is an annual digital scholarship training institute that is organized for its community by the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab and takes place at the University of Victoria campus. Every summer, DHSI brings together faculty, staff, and students from the arts, humanities, library, and archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond. DHSI provides a community-based environment for discussing and learning about new technologies and how they influence teaching, research, creation, and preservation in different disciplines. Around 800-900 participants attend this time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, where participants share ideas and methods as well as develop expertise in advanced technologies.
