Although this call does not specifically mention archives, it might be of interest for those who work with digital humanities projects.
This special edition of Digital Library Perspectives focuses on the topic of Digital Humanities, with emphasis on the shifting framework of scholars and practitioners who do not necessarily identify themselves digital humanists but use Digital Humanities tools and practices in their work. The Guest Editors of this issue include Dr. Megan Meredith-Lobay (University of British Columbia) and Allan Cho (University of British Columbia).
The co-editors invite contributions on the following, as well as other related topics:
-
Role of LIS in supporting non-traditional DH areas of scholarship, i.e. New Media Studies, Musicology, Archaeology, non-textual DH
-
Emerging areas of research, teaching, learning in the digital scholarship in the social sciences and humanities

Beyond “What is DH?” – exploring “Why DH?”
