Databases
As an interdisciplinary field that combines the humanities and sciences, DH scholarship can be found in broad interdisciplinary databases, databases specific to each humanities discipline, computer science and engineering, and library and information science. In computer science, humanities subjects may be used as case studies for the development of tools and methods. Due to the close partnerships between DH and libraries, databases for library and information science can also be a resource for information on critical digital humanities, DH history, and DH research practices.
