Projects

 

Digital Humanities project is one that incorporates digital methods and computational techniques into its research methodology, dissemination strategy, and/or public engagement. In the research design of a typical Digital Humanities project, both digital and non-digital methods will be used. Scholars can use digital methods to ask questions that would be difficult to answer using non-digital methods due to the size or complexity of the source material. They also make research more accessible to the general public.
