Lou Burnard

Lou Burnard, former assistant director at Oxford University Computing Services, is one of the original TEI Editors and has been closely involved with the TEI throughout its development. He is an Oxford graduate with a master’s degree in English Language and Literature who has worked at the frontier between computing and the humanities since the 1970s, when he founded the Oxford Text Archive. During the nineties and noughties he was responsible for many other key developments in what are now known as the digital humanities, notably the British National Corpus, and the UK Arts and Humanities Data Service.  Since retiring from Oxford in 2012 he has been teaching and advising with a number of French projects.
