HuNI – the Humanities Networked Infrastructure – is a Virtual Laboratory for humanities and creative arts researchers.
Described as “One of the world's most advanced and technically interesting digital archives of cultural resources” (Alan Liu, Distinguished Professor Department of English, UC Santa Barbara) and as “pointing the way toward a new generation of digital humanities infrastructures” (Jennifer Edmund, Director of Strategic Projects, Trinity College, Dublin), HuNI combines data from many Australian cultural websites into the biggest humanities and creative arts database ever assembled in Australia.
We are ready to show off HuNI’s latest features and we want you to help us plan its next iteration *Please remember to bring your laptop*
