September 19, 2016 #teachDH: Distant Reading in the Undergraduate Classroom Evan Taparata Close reading of primary sources is one of the most valuable skills historians can cultivate with their students. But as teachers, researchers, and students face unprecedented access to historical material in our “culture of abundance,” computer-assisted analysis of text is an increasingly viable and attractive skill. An insightful close reading of a single text, combined with a “distant reading” of a body of texts too large to comprehend on one’s own, can together offer students and researchers powerful new ways to understand historical documents.

August 22, 2016 Announcing The Programming Historian's New Team of Spanish Language Editors Evan Taparata The Programming Historian is proud to announce its new team of Spanish language editors! July 20, 2016 Getting Started in the Digital Humanities with Digital Storytelling and the Immigrant Stories Project Elizabeth Venditto So you’re interested in the digital humanities. You’re considering a new skill or tool, maybe through a lesson here at the Programming Historian. But your research involves working with individuals and the stories they tell, rather than abstract data. Is there a place for you in the digital humanities? July 5, 2016 Seeking Spanish Language Editor Adam Crymble Building on our commitment to diversity and access, The Programming Historian is seeking a new team member to help us bring the project to 400-million Spanish speakers worldwide. We envisage this to include both cultivating of a Spanish-language community of users and contributors and facillitating the translation of existing resources. There is significant scope to make this role your own. This is a voluntary academic service position. June 10, 2016 Add The Programming Historian to Your Library's Catalogue Amanda Visconti One of the suggested ways to help The Progamming Historian (PH) out in Adam Crymble’s recent post, “The Progamming Historian’s Commitment to Diversity”, was adding PH to your library’s catalogue. Doing so not only helps legitimize the efforts of PH’s authors as the scholarship it is, it also increases public access to a strong, free resource for exploring the digital humanities (DH). By listing PH in library catalogues, we can help anyone using library search engines to seek DH knowledge find PH and have know it’s been vetted by librarians as a trustworthy resource. May 10, 2016 The Programming Historian's Commitment to Diversity Adam Crymble If you spend too much time inside a project, you soon become unable to see its faults. At The Programming Historian, I suspect we fell victim to that problem. ← 14 / 15 →
