HCMC response to COVID-19 (coronavirus)
We are committed to continuing to work with faculty members and project participants to plan and develop academic projects. We continue all aspects of our work (including supervising RAs) while working remotely. You can still reach any of our staff members by email while the office is closed. We will reopen our office in early September and operate it in compliance with relevant policies.
Each of our staff members will be in the office only part-time, so the best way to get in touch with us is by email.
Physical access to the library building is restricted. To get to our office, you must be arrange in advance for one of our staff to escort you both ways between the front door of the MacPherson library and the HCMC office.
Let us work with you
Do you have an idea or question about the development of web applications, websites, on-line databases, application programs or manipulation of audio, video, images, maps or other media? The Humanities Computing and Media Centre at UVic (HCMC) has an international reputation developing projects in collaboration with researchers and instructors in UVic's faculty of humanities. We have particular expertise in the fields of digital humanities and language learning. We can put that to work for you.
We can help whether your interest is research (e.g. literary or linguistic analysis, electronic editions, research websites), teaching (using multimedia labs, creating online exercises, instructional databases), editing (e.g. managing a conference, editing a journal, maintaining a department website), as described in the services and resources section. We have an established process to help you go from your ideas to a completed project.
If you have a question (large or small) in any of those areas, or can't find what you're looking for on our site, please get in touch with us. We welcome drop-in enquires in person, by email or phone. We will either address your situation immediately, schedule a time when we can address it, or guide you through the formal project proposal process.
