The research is still the humanities at the heart, but aided with new technologies, much as the humanities has been since its inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Clement and Linda McGillicuddy Humanities Center is dedicated to building a humanities infrastructure which promotes, educates, and innovates various matters of DH through our training workshops, affiliated projects, symposia, and speaker series.

The DH PopIn series introduces students and faculty to easy-to-use tools and methods in the digital realm that help explore humanities themes in new and exciting ways. The series will also feature virtual chats with noted DH practitioners from across the country to discuss their process behind building a variety of different projects, from GIS mapping to textual analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more on DH Pop In events <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mhc\/ongoing-programs\/dhpopin\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-155_748c50-8f .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-155_748c50-8f .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#082e58;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-155_748c50-8f\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Digital Resources at UMaine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital Commons at Fogler Library<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/digitalcuration.umaine.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital Curation Program at UMaine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/francolib.francoamerican.org\/items\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Franco American Library<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/khronikosum.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Khronikos: Digital History at UMaine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/digitalhumanities.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ach.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Association for Computers in the Humanities<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dhcommons.org\/\">DH Commons<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tei-c.org\/index.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Home of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/textualsociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Society for Textual Scholarship<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/dh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Centre for Digital Humanities, University College London<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cdrh.unl.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.gc.cuny.edu\/wiki\/index.php\/The_CUNY_Digital_Humanities_Resource_Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/editinst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Editorial Institute at Boston University<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chnm.gmu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.lib.virginia.edu\/scholarslab\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Scholar&#8217;s Lab at the University of Virginia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalhumanities.org\/companion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>A Companion to Digital Humanities<\/em><\/a>, a free e-book and essential compendium<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalhumanities.org\/dhq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital Humanities Quarterly<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nines.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NINES (Nineteenth-century Scholarship Online)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scholarlyediting.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scholarly Editing<\/a><\/em>, publisher of digital scholarly editions<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-155_599c99-ab .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-155_599c99-ab .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#082e58;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-155_599c99-ab\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Humanities What is (are?) the Digital Humanities?
