Digital Humanities

Humanities scholars are taking advantage of tools which create research opportunities and enhance their existing work. Many of these tools are dedicated to specific research projects. Some examples include:

  • Textual Analysis
  • Geospatial Studies
  • 3-D and Virtual Reality Environments
  • Time Enabled Mapping Tools
  • Text and Pattern Recognition
  • High Performance Computing

Look out for the upcoming KAREN Seminar, Electronic Scholarly Editing.
