Welcome to the new DH Portal

This site is a hub for the digital humanities at the University of Virginia. Its mission is to support our academic community by providing a gateway to our abundant, diverse digital humanities resources. 

The DH Portal -- formerly DH@UVA -- is a project of the Library Technology Solutions group, through the generosity of the Library IT Department under Executive Director Stan Gunn. Yuji Shinozaki, Xiaoming Wang, Jack Kelly, and Carla Arton have been most generous with their time, technical expertise, and resources. Rennie Mapp, Director of the DH Initiative in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, is site architect and content editor.

The Graduate Certificate Program in Digital Humanities

The Digital Humanities Certificate at UVA is more than just a curriculum; it’s a dynamic community and support network. In addition to taking take two required DH courses and two DH Electives, students participate in a vibrant series of events and collaborations, connecting them with the wide array of digital humanities resources around the University and beyond. 

The Graduate Certificate Program in Digital Humanities is accepting applications from September 1 until October 1, 2024. All enrolled graduate students at UVA are welcome to apply, regardless of department, school, or year.  Click on the "DH Certificate" menu link above to find more information and a link to our application portal.

How to find DH Resources at UVA

UVA's DH resources are rich and broadly distributed. You can find advice, collaboration, training, and coursework in many parts of the University, including Arts & Sciences, the Library, the School of Data Science, and the UVA Press. Keep an eye on our Resource pages this fall, as we build out this site and link to the brilliant work of our DH colleagues around the University. 

What are the Digital Humanities?

In the digital humanities, we use digital and computational approaches to advance research and teaching in the humanities. 

Like other humanists, digital humanists study human culture and the human record. DH adds supplemental methods to the other established modes of inquiry and critique in humanities disciplines, thus generating new understandings of the materials in our various subject domains.
