Project Videos

The best way understand digital humanities is to dive right in and see what digital humanists are doing. These videos describe the what/why/how/who of a broad swath of DH projects, with the goal of helping you learn what’s necessary to undertake similar endeavors.

The videos are inspired by Miriam Posner’s How Did They Make That blog post and video.

We are always accepting new videos, up to 10 minutes in length. Get in touch with Scott B. Weingart to contribute.
