The purpose of the non-profit OH Cards Institute is to share the growing body of information about ways OH Cards are used. The OH Cards Institute (OHCI) collects, assesses, organizes, and disseminates resources about OH Cards, cataloguing information into three main areas: Methods, Studies, and Context.
While there is and will be some overlap of content between the OHCI and OH North America websites, OHCI tends to focus on scholarly and published works — including videos, books, and material in other languages — and OH North America tends to focus on OH Card stories.
Because information published on the OHCI website may be of interest to OH North America readers, we’ll occasionally post an update here of new material on the OHCI website.
