Digital Humanities

A joint initiative of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Libraries and the UNL College of Arts and Sciences, the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities is advancing collaborative, interdisciplinary research by creating unique digital content, developing text analysis and visualization tools, and encouraging the use (and refinement) of international standards.

This research center at George Mason University "uses digital media and computer technology to democratize history—to incorporate multiple voices, reach diverse audiences, and encourage popular participation in presenting and preserving the past."

The Center for Transformative Scholarship (CTS) facilitates, explores, tests, and advances new media and networked scholarship for scholarly research, analysis, and publication. The CTS is a university-wide resource, hosted by USC Libraries, USC College, and the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

CenterNet provides a directory to many more national and international centers, projects, tools, standards, and other aspects of the digital humanities.

The Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University supports collaborative research among scholars in the humanities, focusing on interdisciplinary and comparative work across cultural and linguistic boundaries

In addition to the humanities computing department, the University of Alberta also hosts one of the portals to TAPoR. "TAPoR is the Text Analysis Portal for Research, a collaboration by six Canadian universities to build a centralized gateway to representative texts and sophisticated text analysis tools. The computing infrastructure is available to host and support research projects using text, text encoding, text transformation, and XML technologies."

The mandate of the HCMC is to further research, teaching and learning in the faculty of Humanities, in particular the fields of Humanities Computing and Language Learning, and those aspects of other fields involving audio, video or computing technology.

"Persistence through time and across media is the most critical attribute of humanitie research, concerned as it is with the record of the past, but achieving that persistence in an era of rapidly developing technology is a very difficult task. IATH's cental mission is to provide scholars in the humanities with the time, the tools, and the techniques to document and interpred the human record in electronic form."

The Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts, and Social Science (I-CHASS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign charts new ground in high performance computing and the humanities, arts, and social sciences by creating both learning environments and spaces for digital discovery. I-CHASS presents path-breaking research, computational resources, collaborative tools, and educational programming to showcase the future of the humanities, arts, and social sciences.

MTH calls itself "an applied think tank for the digital humanities." An early leader in the field, since its founding in 1999 MITH has participated in a broad array of projects, from practitioners of digital humanities, with topics on apartheid, Early American archives, Emily Dickenson, and Historical Theaters. MITH has also developed CAMP, a reasonably user-friendly 3-D modelling program.

MATRIX is devoted to the application of new technologies for teaching, research, and outreach. As one of the premier humanities computing centers in the United States, MATRIX creates and maintains online resources, provides training in computing and new teaching technologies, and creates forums for the exchange of ideas and expertise in the field.
