ETRUS is a group of faculty, students, and others, at the University of Saskatchewan and elsewhere, who are engaged in or interested in research on electronic text in any form.
Our mission is to explore how we can use digital methods to understand text better. Our definition of 'text' includes documents of all kinds, from medieval manuscripts through printed books to modern diaries, and also photos, videos, sound recordings, and maps.
We are interested in new possibilities for collaboration between the academy and the community, and our presentation will showcase several projects at the University which seek to broaden scholarship from the university to everyone, everywhere: thus the Textual Communities and Saskatchewan History Online projects -- along with many other projects, ranging from Old Norse to interface design.
