Oxford has been at the leading edge of technology and scholarship in ‘Digital Humanities’ since the early 1970s, when some of the earliest databases in the world were created in Classics, History and Oriental Studies.
Since then Oxford has increased and developed its relationship with Digital Humanities into an exciting, innovative and forward-look area of activity where teaching and research in Humanities disciplines intersect with the latest developments in computing technology.
The University now hosts the largest concentration of digital humanities projects in the UK, and probably the world.
These cutting-edge projects and programmes involve leading academics in the various Humanities disciplines as well as staff in the University’s Computing Services, Oxford e-Research Centre (OeRC), Bodleian Libraries, Museums, and colleges.
For the first time, many of these projects are now represented on one website:
