 Richard W. Lyman Award will remain open through February 15, 2004.
The Richard W. Lyman Award recognizes scholars who have advanced
humanistic scholarship and teaching through the innovative use of
information technology. In recent years, scholars in the classics,
English & American literature, history, and other humanistic disciplines have increasingly used computers and the World Wide Web to make available facsimiles of rare manuscripts; to archive, index, and
annotate literary, artistic, and scholarly materials; to link text,
visual images, and sound in new ways; and to create a new social
structure that will bring scholars and students together to break down
boundaries among learning, teaching, and research. The National Humanities Center presents the Lyman Award to individuals
who break new ground by exploiting information technology toward these
ends.
The award honors Richard W. Lyman, who was president of Stanford University from 1970-80 and of the Rockefeller Foundation from 1980-88,
and is made possible through the generosity of the Rockefeller
Foundation. The award carries a prize of $25,000.
The 2003 recipient of the Lyman Award, Roy Rosenzweig of George Mason University, gave a public lecture at the National Humanities Center on December 4, 2003. A digital video of the lecture, "Digitizing the Past: Possibilities and Problems," is accessible from this site, courtesy of the Center for Instructional Technology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
