DH Programs
The following institutions have DH MA programs. (For more details, see Miriam Posner’s list).
- King’s College London
- Loyola University Chicago
- University of Alberta
- University College London
- University College Cork
Tanya Clement has collected a list of Digital Humanities Inflected Undergraduate Programs as of 2009 with additions in the comments. This post also has useful links to discussions about DH education.
The Zotero group “Digital Humanities Education,” launched by Lisa Spiro, is collaboratively building a library that “includes syllabi and curriculum planning documents, as well as articles about open education, networked pedagogies, and more.” This will be an invaluable resource for the DH community, and much more comprehensive than what we offer here.
DH-related syllabi
The number of DH courses has grown exponentially in recent semesters. Instead of updating individual syllabus links, we are keeping the previous list below, and directing researchers instead to collections like these.
A brief selection of DH-related syllabi.

The guide is not designed to be comprehensive, but to provide key information for colleagues entering the field, and a useful quick reference.
The current state, though, is just a starting point – for instance, it does not contain any information for specific disciplines or research areas/methods (e.g. history, text mining, data visualization).
So, what would you like to see here? Please contribute your additions, corrections and/or suggestions by whatever means works best for you:
- Editing the wiki directly (note that only Commons users can edit the wiki; see the FAQ for help on doing this; note too that, for now, rich text editing has been disabled, and needs to remain so; please remember to preview the page before you save!)
- Tagging items on delicious with cunydhi
- Via Twitter @cunydhi
- E-mailing your comments to cunydhi@gc.cuny.edu
Some editing guidelines:
- Please point to existing information, rather than duplicating it.
- We would prefer the guide to be (lightly) annotated, rather than a list of links – feel free to provide commentary that adds value (keep the beginning DHer in mind).
All, please forgive any errors/omissions/infelicities – if you can’t correct the content yourself, do let us know and we will happily fix it for you!

- South Jersey Center for Digital Humanities @ Stockton College (SJCDH), Pomona, NJ; see also their blog.
- The University of Virginia’s Scholars’ Lab, and Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH). IATH has produced a wide range of work, such as the Salem Witch Trials Documentary Archive and Transcription project. The Scholars’ Lab, directed by Bethany Nowviskie, “is a place where faculty and advanced students in the humanities and social sciences can explore digital resources, find expert help, and collaborate on innovative research projects.” It also hosts graduate fellows, whose work can be seen here.
Others
See the listing of DH centers maintained by centerNet. Here, though, are some other key centers to know:
- MATRIX at Michigan State University – center for humanities computing that “houses major digital library repositories including to the African Online Digital Library (AODL), Detroit Public Television’s American Black Journal video archives, Historical Voices, and The Quilt Index”; also hosts the international scholarly networking community, H-Net (see Online Communities/Discussion Forums).
- The Center for Digital Research in the Humanities (CDRH) at the University of Nebraska; “advances interdisciplinary research in the humanities by creating unique digital content, developing tools to assist scholars in text analysis and visualization, and encouraging the use (and refinement) of international standards for humanities computing.”
- University College London’s Centre for Digital Humanities – a wide range of current projects includes The Digital Lives Research Project (a study of personal digital collections), TEI By Example (online training resources for TEI), and the Transcribe Bentham initiative (uses crowdsourcing for transcription of materials).
- The Electronic & Textual Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria, Canada – “our cross-disciplinary work in the areas of data-harvesting, textual content analysis, and document encoding puts us at the forefront of a global conversation about the future of communication”; hosts the annual Digital Humanities Summer Institute (see Training/Professional Development).
@CUNY
- CUNY Graduate Center is an important hub for digital work at CUNY – see its newly-launched website for Digital Initiatives.
- A key resource is the CUNY Graduate Center New Media Lab, which works with Graduate Center and CUNY faculty and doctoral students to conceive and create multimedia projects. “Our goal is to integrate digital media into traditional academic practice, challenging scholars to develop fresh questions in their respective fields using the tools of new technology.” The New Media Lab is supervised by the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning, housed at the CUNY Graduate Center, which has done innovative work at the intersection of technology, historical scholarship, and education since 1981.
