The Center for Digital Humanities is a research and innovation incubator for the computational study of the human condition.

Computational tools make it possible for humanities researchers to respond to the world’s enduring and emerging needs in ways that complement conventional scholarship, even as such tools invite inquiries that are scaled to capture and analyze the densest possible contexts and data sets.
