At the Digital Humanities Conference 2019 in Utrecht, a group of Digital Humanities (DH) RSEs came together for a workshop about building a community of DH RSEs. The discussion covered many different aspects and issues from recognition and career paths to funding and community building. The result of the workshop is a white paper addressing some of the concerns most DH RSEs share. It is meant as a call for DH RSEs to connect with each other and to draw attention to their needs as they are a crucial part of most DH projects.

The US-RSE Association is centered around three main goals. Moving forward we aim to target our activities and actions to serving these three main goals. Over time we plan to revisit and refine these goals as the needs and desires of the community change.
