Digital Humanities Resources: Home

This guide is an introduction to Digital Humanities (DH) and the resources available for DH research and teaching through the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Libraries.

Digital Humanities?

Digital humanities is an interdisciplinary research field and set of methodologies situated at the intersections of humanistic inquiry and digital technologies. In practice, this might mean creating a digital game about migration and colonization, building a database of music and the performing arts in Colonial America, "reading" thousands of texts computationally, recreating early wearable technologies to study cultural history, or any number of other investigations.

Taking a look through the projects listed on the DHCommons Projects Page is a good way to get a sense of what digital humanities actually is. Or, see What is Digital Humanities? for alternative definitions.
