ARTH 14
The Digital Humanities Toolkit Winter 2025

This course will provide students an introduction to digital humanities methods and hands-on experience with a variety of essential tools. Students will curate a digital exhibition in Omeka using the Visual Resources Center’s historic photograph collection. In the process, students will learn about digital imaging, metadata, mapping, timelines, virtual reality, and data analytics and visualization. Discussion and lab time in the Visual Resources Center will be paired with cross-campus visits, where guest speakers will share their expertise and engage students in topics such as 3D modeling and printing, and artificial intelligence. Short readings and videos will be assigned to supplement materials presented in class. Students will present their final exhibition projects at the end of the course. While the course will often approach digital humanities through the image-intensive lens of Art History, students pursuing a variety of disciplines are welcome. Students will complete the course having been introduced to a broad range of ways to incorporate digital technologies into their humanities research.
