The Digital Humanities help students combine research with new technology. These featured projects show how students use digital tools to explore history, literature, culture, and society, and include data research, multimedia storytelling, community archives, and new technology use.

The projects go beyond class assignments. They contribute to the larger digital humanities community. Students gain practical skills in methods like text mining, mapping, and digital publishing. By creating interactive platforms and analyzing data, our students make important contributions to their fields. They also learn to think about design, accessibility, and impact. Each digital humanities student project shows a student’s curiosity, technical ability, and dedication to using digital tools for important questions.
