Digital Humanities: Home

The Digital Humanities is a category of research methods and a community of practice that seeks to explore how digital and data-driven technologies can inform and enhance existing research in the humanities disciplines.

Digital Humanities is integrated within traditional humanities subjects. Digitally-enabled research not only enhances existing humanities research using digital methods, but also creates new resources for humanities researchers to access (such as visualisations and databases), and helps us to understand how new methods can change the nature of research.
