UCLDH Community

There is much more going on at UCLDH than study and research. This page outlines a few of our other activities.

Alumni page

This UCLDH alumni blog has been set up independently from the UCL infrastructure to allow students past, present and future to interact and share their experiences, particularly in the area of the job market and further study.

YouTube Channel

The UCLDH YouTube channel pulls together our published videos all in one place. If YouTube is blocked where you are, you can find some of these on our UCLDH YouKu channel too (apologies for the adverts!).

Praxis Network

UCLDH was very pleased to be invited to be one of the founding participating programmes of the Praxis Network. This group was set up to focus on graduate education initiatives with an emphasis on new models of methodological training and collaborative research.

Decoding Digital Humanities London

DDHL was originally set up by staff and students at UCLDH as a series of informal monthly meetings to get together and discuss matters of interest to our discipline. It has now expanded to be a London wide event and is currently organised by postgraduate students from UCL and King's College London.

DH Friends

UCLDH welcomes DH friends passing through London and invites them to come and meet our students and perhaps give a talk about their research or other related activities.

Twitter

Many UCLDH projects and staff have a Twitter presence (see individual staff and project pages). Follow @UCLDH and #UCLDH.

Facebook Groups

See (and 'like') the UCLDH Facebook page.

In addition, there are UCLDH MA/MSc Facebook groups for each year. These are closed groups and specific to each year; apply to the appropriate group admin to join.

UCLDH images online

Many images are available on the UCLDH Repository, Family album.

A simple UCLDH search on Flickr brings up many more.

In addition, use UCLDH as a keyword for searching Google images.

UCLDH merchandising

A range of t-shirts, mugs, and other items imprinted with the UCLDH logo can be purchased online at the UCLDH Shop.
