Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

    All workshops will be held in Bobst Library’s Avery Fisher Center.

    Molly O’Hagan Hardy: The Presence of the Past April 2nd, 5-6:30pm
    With examples from the eighteenth-century transatlantic book trade as
    represented in library catalogs and content databases, Molly O’Hagan Hardy
