  1. What are the Digital Humanities “…the work of the humanities is to create the vessels to store our culture. In this sense, the digitization of archives and collections holds the promise of a grand conclusion: nothing less than the unification of the human culture record online, representing, in theory, an unprecedented democratizationofaccess to humanknowledge.” Jonathan Shaw “The Humanities Digitized” Harvard Magazine May-June 2012

  2. What are the Digital Humanities “There is no such thing as the ‘Digital Humanities’; there are multiple emerging domains of experimental practice that fall under this capacious umbrella.” Jeffrey Schnapp“The Humanities Digitized” Harvard Magazine May-June 2012

  3. What are the Digital Humanities In other words, there is no monolithic model of knowledge production. This can be true even when you are using the same standard to describe content in the humanities.

  4. What are the Digital Humanities • TEI • The Text Encoding Initiative is a consortium which collectively develops and maintains a standard for the representation of texts in digital form. Its chief deliverable is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the humanities, social sciences and linguistics. Since 1994, the TEI Guidelines have been widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to present texts for online research, teaching, and preservation.
