Intro to Digital Humanities (DH) explores how digital methods transform the way we do humanities research. Build practical skills by experimenting with data visualizations, digital archiving and exhibit design, content management, text analysis, digital mapping, video gaming, web publishing, and audio/visual production! This course applies DH through the lens of cultural heritage. Also known as Cultural Heritage Informatics, this field examines how material culture, texts, media, architecture, memorials, and traditions are collected, preserved, and shared in digital contexts. Together, we will consider how digital access and storytelling shape the preservation and presentation of cultural memory.
