Uniting humanities scholarship with accessible technologies
Digital Humanities (DH) is a collaborative method that employs technology for performing scholarship and disseminating knowledge in humanities disciplines and in the humanistic social sciences; encompasses the development and use of innovative technological tools for teaching and learning; and encourages creative engagement with technology and critical consciousness of technology's complex effects in our daily lives and on our wider world.
'Digital Humanities' refers to new modes of scholarship and to institutional units for collaborative, transdisciplinary and computationally engaged research, teaching and publication.
Discover digital scholarship and pedagogy
Join an interdisciplinary working group of faculty members from across schools, units and disciplines who are interested and/or engaged in digital scholarship and pedagogy endeavors. View the Comm-DSP blog to explore highlight news, projects and other activities of the Community for Digital Scholarship and Pedagogy.
DH Studio
The DH Studio is an interactive space to plan, launch and manage a DH project, which can range from a small-scale, short-term project involving a small team to a large-scale, long-term project with numerous interdisciplinary collaborators. It offers training to faculty and students in the use of many innovative DH tools.
DH Tools
With the rapid growth of DH since the turn of the millennium, many humanists and computer scientists have also collaborated to create free, out-of-the-box DH tools that are user-friendly for scholars and students who do not have advanced training or experience in computer programming. These DH tools include Scalar (a multimodal digital publishing platform, supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities) and Omeka (a content-management system for creating and maintaining archives and collections, supported by the Mellon Foundation and others).
