Global Outlook::Digital Humanities is the newly approved ADHO Special Interest Group (SIG). It is the successor to various "outreach" and "North-South" initiatives proposed by ADHO members and Constituent Organisations, including SDH-SEMI (as it then was), ACH, and the ALLC (while this is its heritage, it is important to note that the initiative does not share all of the assumptions and goals of these previous initiatives: in particular, experience has shown how important it is that an initiative of this type be a peer-to-peer community rather than an "outreach" or "aid" programme).
