本會議舉辦目的係針對國際數位人文發展，進行系統與技術研發面向成果發表、標準研議、國際交流與合作規劃。

　　數位人文為國際間新興研究領域，受到資訊技術的快速成長，數位人文亦前所未見之速度蓬勃發展。歐美與亞洲各國紛紛成立相關學術研究機構與社群組織，臺灣亦在這股潮流中佔有一席之地。臺灣數位人文學會之成立，象徵臺灣過往數位典藏與數位人文研究已發展成為堅實研究社群，凝聚整合臺灣學界研究力量，參與國際數位人文相關研究組織。DADH身為學會年會，歷年來皆為臺灣數位典藏與數位人文學界年度最重要研究成果發表之國際會議，更是臺灣向國際學界展示積累研究成果，與國際學界研究先進相互交流之重要場合。

　　舉辦DADH重要目的之一，即為提供數位人文研究學界成果分享與國際交流之重要平台，推動臺灣與國際學界交流與緊密互動，深化數位人文研究根基。有別於國外數位人文發展，臺灣數位人文研究是以長達數十年之數位典藏成果為底蘊，於此基礎上建立數位人文研究工具、平臺與模型。然隨國家型數位典藏計畫結束，許多資料漸漸因計畫終止而被遺忘與散失。如何將這些散佚之「數位考古遺物」，與後來不斷產出之新數位化成果作最有效利用與整合，且能經人工智慧、數位工具或平臺協助，進行更多元數位人文研究，將是未來研究發展取徑之一。從歷屆DADH主題觀察，2014年提出「跨界∞轉化」，意味學界注意數位人文跨學科應用。2015年強調「東亞聚焦」，顯示臺灣在數位人文領域中——特別是東亞地區，實有開風氣之先之地位。2016至2018年分別選擇「數位學者，一個新興領域的產生？」、「演化中的數位人文：過去，現在，未來」，及「迎向人工智慧+數位人文的時代」，反映數位人文學科逐漸成為國內學者注目焦點，是備受重視之新領域。2019至2021年大會主題則轉向跨界結合「數位人文與社會脈動」、「智慧資料 ╳ 數位人文」，及「實用資料 ╳ 數位人文」，分別連結社會趨勢、AI 人工智慧與網路技術等，充分呈現數位人文學科具備跨領域整合以及充滿發展潛力等特點。2022年DADH 會議以「數位學習 ╳ 數位人文」為主題，一方面因2020年以來新冠肺炎衝擊，使全球教學型態經歷巨大改變，過去幾年發展有限之遠距教學、多元學習、互動學習等新教學型態，於短短一年間成為備受關注之新工具，當然也累積許多經驗與問題，有待學界進行更多反思。二方面，近年臺灣社會逐漸意識大學社會責任，強調高等教育面相社會作用。教育是大學運作核心，能超越教室限制，跨過年齡、時間及空間限制之數位學習，更應是大學發展研究重要目標。

　　2023年DADH將以「南方力量╳數位研究 ╳ 數位人文」為主題，除賡續以往諸屆數位人文研究成果與發展，更希冀能經本屆大會移師南臺灣，廣邀南部數位人文師資團隊，將研究成果和與會學者交流。本屆會議採雙主場方式，三日會議之第一日與第二日將於國立成功大學文學院學術演講廳及周邊會議空間舉辦，第三日會議將於合辦單位國立臺灣歷史博物館舉辦，以期帶領與會學者更了解國立臺灣歷史博物館於數位人文之研究成果。

The purpose of this conference is to aim at the development of international digital humanities, to carry out system and technology research and development-oriented results publication, standard research, international exchange and cooperation planning.

DH (Digital-humanities) is an emerging international research field. With the rapid growth of information technology, DH is also flourishing at an unprecedented speed.  Europe, the United States and Asian countries have established relevant academic research institutions and community organizations, and Taiwan has also taken a place in this trend.  The establishment of the Taiwan Association for Digital Humanities (TADH) symbolizes that Taiwan's past digital collections and digital humanities research have developed into a solid research community, which gathers and integrates the research strength of Taiwan's academic circles and participates in international digital humanities-related research organizations.  As the annual conference, DADH has been an international conference for Taiwan's digital archives and digital humanities to publish the most important research results of the year. It is also an important occasion for Taiwan to showcase its accumulated research results to the international academic community and to communicate with advanced research in the international academic community.One of the important purposes of hosting DADH is to provide an important platform for the sharing of academic achievements in digital humanities research and international exchanges, to promote exchanges and close interaction between Taiwan and international academic circles, and to deepen the foundation of digital humanities research.  Different from the development of digital humanities in foreign countries, Taiwan's digital humanities research is based on decades-long digital archives, and digital humanities research tools, platforms, and models are established on this basis.  However, with the end of the national digital collection project, many materials were gradually forgotten and lost due to the termination of the project.  How to make the most effective use and integration of these lost “digital archaeological relics” with the new digital achievements that have been continuously produced later, and how to conduct more multi-dimensional digital humanities research with the assistance of artificial intelligence, digital tools or platforms, will be It is one of the avenues for future research and development.  Observing from previous DADH themes, in 2014, “Crossover & Transformation” was proposed, which means that the academic circle pays attention to the interdisciplinary application of digital humanities.  The emphasis on “Focusing on East Asia” in 2015 showed that Taiwan has a pioneering position in the field of digital humanities, especially in East Asia.  From 2016 to 2018, “Digital Scholars, the Emergence of an Emerging Field?”, “Digital Humanities Evolution: Past, Present, and Future” and “Facing the Era of AI + DH” were selected, reflecting the gradual development of digital humanities.  It has become the focus of domestic scholars and is a new field that has received much attention. From 2019 to 2021, the theme of the conference will turn to the cross-border combination of “Digital Humanities and Social Trends”, “Smart Data╳Digital Humanities”, and “Practical Data╳Digital Humanities”, respectively linking social trends, AI artificial intelligence and network technology, etc.  It fully demonstrates that DH has the characteristics of cross-field integration and full of development potential. The theme of the 2022 DADH conference was “e-Learning╳Digital Humanities”. On the one hand, due to the impact of the new coronavirus disease since 2020, the global teaching pattern has undergone tremendous changes. In the past few years, new teaching forms such as distance teaching, multi-learning, and interactive learning, which have been limited in development, have become new tools that have attracted much attention in just one year. Of course, many experiences and problems have been accumulated, which await more reflection by the academic community.  On the other hand, in recent years, Taiwanese society has gradually become aware of the social responsibility of universities, emphasizing the role of higher education in facing society.  Education is the core of university operations. Digital learning that transcends the limitations of classrooms and age, time, and space should be an important goal of university development research.

In 2023, DADH will take “Emerging from Southern Taiwan╳e-Research╳Digital Humanities” as the theme. In addition to continuing the achievements and development of digital humanities research in previous conferences; through this conference holding in southern Taiwan, a large number of teachers will be invited from local area, and exchange research results with participating scholars.  This year's conference adopts a double-home format. The first and second days of the three-day conference will be held in the academic lecture hall of the College of Liberal Arts of National Cheng Kung University and the surrounding conference rooms. The third day of the conference will be held in the co-organizer National Taiwan Museum of History. In order to lead the participating scholars to better understand the research results of the Taiwan Museum of History in digital humanities.
