5. Centre for Educational Technology (CET), University of Cape Town (UCT), Cape Town, South Africa (www.cet.uct.ac.za) enables and investigates the use of ICTs in higher education at UCT and beyond. CET's work includes staff development, curriculum resources development, technologies development and research projects locally and internationally.
6. Centro Interdipartimentale Servizi Automazione Discipline Umanistiche, Rome [X] serves the departments of the Faculty of "Lettere e Filosofia"; it aims to develop computer-assisted research projects and software-application courses for the staff of the Faculty; to provide access to the networks and help with formatting and printing; and to support the Centre's academic course in applied computing.
7. Digital Humanities Group, Indiana University of Pennsylvania [X], supports scholarship, proof-of-concept explorations, and project applications of digital technologies in the disciplines; it provides information, access, and peer support for the employment of emerging tools in digital scholarship; fosters the recognition and valuation of non-traditional scholarship.
8. Digital Humanities Program, Miami University of Ohio [X], offers graduate and undergraduate courses, supports research, has a speaker series; we will host the NINES Summer Workshop 2008 [X]. Program funded by the Miami University Interactive Media Studies Program [X].
9. Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute, Glasgow (U.K.) [X], offers an academic programme in humanities computing at introductory, honours, and postgraduate levels and organises a summer school on digitisation for heritage professionals; operates departmentally-based computer teaching classrooms and laboratories of the Faculties of Arts and Divinity; supports collaborative research projects and manages its own research programme.
10. Humanities Media, Audio/Visual Resource & Computing Centre , McMaster (Canada) [X], offers academic courses in humanities computing and a "Multimedia@McMaster: Combined Honours Programme in Multimedia" [X]; provides support for administrative, research and instructional computing within the Faculty of Humanities; introduces and encourages initiatives for instructional and research computing; represents the Faculty of Humanities on University and external committees.
11. Humanities Technology and Research Support Center, Brigham Young University (U.S.] [X], provides research support for Humanities faculty as well as original research. Also provides computer support, network support, training, scanning, language testing and the Computers and the Humanities Program [X], which offers courses on the use of computer technology in humanities disciplines, with two intersecting minor programs (the CHum program is jointly supported by the Department of Linguistics and the Humanities Technology and Research Support Center).
12. Illinois Center for Computing in Humanities, Arts, and Social Science (I-CHASS), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US [X], collaborates with disciplines across the humanities, arts, and social sciences to conduct innovative work in computational arts, humanities and social sciences. I-CHASS sees high performance computing as potentially transformative of social scientific inquiry. Campus partners have included Anthropology, Architecture, Art, Art History, Classics, Computer Science, Continuing Education and Outreach, Economics, Education, French, Geography, History, Music, Library and Information Science, Linguistics, Literature (English), Political Science, Religious Studies, Sociology, Spanish, Theatre, and Urban Studies and Planning. Being located at a supercomputing center means that I-CHASS has access to over 250 personnel at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, as well as leading-edge computational resources, both technical and conceptual.
13. Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) [X] and the Media Studies @ Virginia [X], University of Virginia (U.S.), in combination.

[X] As an Organized Research Unit within the School of Cinematic Arts, the University of Southern California’s Institute for Multimedia Literacy develops educational programs and conducts research on the changing nature of literacy in a networked culture. The IML’s educational programs address students, teachers, and faculty across the educational spectrum: including K-12 teachers, student teachers, and higher education faculty. The IML supports faculty-directed research that seeks to transform the nature of scholarship within the disciplines. Several digital humanities projects have been facilitated through IML since 1997. IML also serves as the institutional home of the journal, Vectors, and administers the Vectors fellowship process.
15. Matrix: The Center for Humane Arts, Letters, and Social Sciences Online, Michigan State (U.S.) [X], "devoted to the application of new technologies in humanities and social science teaching and research.
