Many  students tell me that in order to get started with digital humanities, they’d like to have some idea of what they might do and what technical skills they might need in order to do it. Here’s a set of digital humanities projects that might help you to get a handle on the kinds of tools and technologies available for you to use.

I’ve tried to include a few different types of projects, but it’s hard to provide a really representative list. If you’d like to see more digital humanities projects, you can find directories at art-humanities.net and DHCommons.

Here, I discuss:

• a gallery of primary sources
• a digital scholarly edition
• a mapping project
• a network visualization
• computer-aided text analysis
• a historical 3D model
• a longform, media-rich narrative

This may be the most useful thing to exist on the internet ever.
