 for Digital Humanities. UCLDH was launched in May 2010 and forms the hub o
 f a network of DH activity linking world leading research at UCL in \ndisc
 iplines including engineering\, computer science\, the humanities and buil
 t environment with our museums\, special collections and the Slade School 
 of Fine Art. We also work with cultural heritage organisations such as lib
 raries\, archives and galleries outside academia. This talk will \ndescrib
 e our philosophy of DH research\, the institutional context for our work\,
  how it is funded\, and the activities that we undertake. I will discuss w
