The purpose of this guide is to provide an introduction to the concepts, history, methodologies, and tools of digital humanities. Digital humanities is a broad term that encompasses multiple disciplines within the humanities, including history, art history, African and African American studies, women and gender studies, English language and literature, writing and rhetoric, and more. At the most basic level, digital humanities simply refers to the use of digital tools and methods to further scholarship. At its more complex, digital humanities involves reimagining the way we approach sources and data, research, narrative, and the publication and interpretation of scholarship.
