Field of digital humanities

The field of digital humanities is a rapidly-growing one, including a wide range of projects and resources. Approaches to digital history can involve many different types of resources- digitizing primary sources, using mapping software, analyzing texts for specific words or phrases, and so on. This week, we have a range of digital history resources posted in the module. For this discussion thread, please explore these resources and talk about what you did, what you found, how it worked, and other reactions and interactions that you had. You can talk about project specifics- remember that websites will usually have an “About” section or some kind of description. You can explore the different sections of a digital project, using the website to find information or make connections. You can also think about other materials that you would have liked to see, elements of the site that didn’t work, or questions that you have. Overall, consider digital history as a potential source of information about a topic or time period.
