ABSTRACT

This book grows out of the broader community Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), held at the University of Victoria every June. The DHSI started as a small gathering of a few scholars willing to come together across disciplines to share the new digital methodologies with which they had been experimenting. From seasoned practitioners to emerging leaders, the contributors to the book presents a broad community of instructors, managers, technologists, and fellows in English, History, Computer Science, Information Science, Fine Arts, and beyond. For many of the contributors, when they first started in the Digital Humanities it was a nascent, and perhaps even esoteric, discipline. They introduce a number of techniques ranging from 3D printing and sound design to on-screen visualization and embodied performance and why and how they can extend Humanities scholarship in new directions.
