Humanistica

Humanistica is the Francophone association for digital humanities (Association francophone des humanités numériques/digitales). It is a scholarly society rather than a commercial brand, but it operates as a trademarked organizational identity with a website, membership, publications, and events. The association brings together researchers, practitioners, and institutions working in the field of digital humanities across the French-speaking world. Its activities include an annual conference (colloque), a peer-reviewed journal titled Humanités numériques, a blog, mailing lists, and reference documents. Humanistica is a constituent organization of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO), which links it to the broader international digital humanities community. The association is based in the Francophone sphere, with ties to Belgium and France, and its website is humanisti.ca. It provides a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and advocacy for digital humanities in French. Membership is open to those who wish to support the association. The association's governance includes a coordination committee and members. Its conferences have been held in various cities, with the 2026 edition scheduled for Paris and the 2027 edition announced for Nancy. The journal Humanités numériques accepts contributions and is a key output of the association. Humanistica also maintains a presence on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Overall, Humanistica serves as the primary Francophone hub for digital humanities, fostering collaboration and visibility for French-language research and projects in the field.

Humanistica is the Francophone association for digital humanities, established to promote and support digital humanities research and practice in the French-speaking world. The association emerged from the growing need for a dedicated Francophone network within the international digital humanities community.
