Digital Humanities, often shortened to “dh”, is a highly collaborative area of scholarship at the intersection of digital technologies and humanities disciplines. Practitioners in this field are sometimes known as “digital humanists”. They usually collaborate with experts in other disciplines to create work grounded in humanistic inquiry and technical proficiency with a blend of qualitative and quantitative analyses drawn from fields such as media studies, social sciences, and applied sciences.

Here are a few introductions to digital humanities through specific theories and methods:


Your Digital Humanities Consultant
