This service is available to all students undertaking projects in the digital humanities. If you find that you need to conduct research for a current course or upcoming DH project, meeting with a librarian early in your research process can help you save time and find the best resources.

Sherri can help with any part of your research process: brainstorming a research topic/question and creating a search strategy; finding, evaluating and organizing your sources; and more. No question is too basic! Sherri can meet with you in-person or online via Zoom.

DH Journals

We have access to many journals in the digital humanities - some online and others in print. If you're undertaking research (or considering somewhere to potentially publish at some point), check Virgo, the library's catalog, for known titles.
Below are a few examples of journals in the digital humanities:

Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ)
DHQ, published by the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) and the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal "covering all aspects of digital media in the humanities."
Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (DSH)
Formerly Literary and Linguistic Computing (1986-2014), DSH (2015-) publishes original contributions on digital scholarship in the humanities.
International Journal of Digital Humanities
"[A] peer-reviewed academic journal with a focus on digital media and the development, application and reflection of digital research methodology in the Humanities."
Reviews in Digital Humanities
"A peer-reviewed journal and project registry that facilitates scholarly evaluation and dissemination of digital humanities work and its outputs."
Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities (JDMDH)
"JDMDH publishes relevant data analysis with human-produced dataset. The publication is as precise and comprehensive as possible."

Getting Help with DH Tools and Methods

The Scholars' Lab, part of UVA Library's DH Center, is a community lab for the practice of experimental scholarship in all fields, informed by digital humanities, spatial technologies, and cultural heritage thinking.

Wherever you are in your DH project - from just starting out to already deep into tools and methods - the staff in the Scholars' Lab can help! Set up a consultation in areas including: digital humanities, code + design, spatial technologies, and using the makerspace, by emailing scholarslab@virginia.edu. More details about their mission and values can be found on the Scholars' Lab website.
