Resources

At the Center for Digital Humanities we strive to maintain a collection of resources for all those interested in or working with Digital Humanities.  Below, you can find links to various resources including resources for funding and support, digital humanities in the classroom, and tools.

The Center for Digital Humanities is pleased to announce several new resources for USC faculty and students, beginning February 1, 2018. The Center has created instances of the popular academic social media platforms Omeka, Scalar, and WordPress, which we recommend for many basic Digital Humanities projects for faculty, staff and students. These will run on CDH servers and we will host and serve them in perpetuity (with some important qualifications).
 

Academic Social Media Platform Examples

 

Omeka

Handheld Art

A virtual learning environment for the classroom, encouraging interdisciplinary study by merging art and the humanities for K-12 education

Scalar

The Digital Piranesi

Giovanni Battista Piranesi was an innovative graphic artist most known for his architectural studies of Rome and imaginary prisons. “The Digital Piranesi” aims to make this rare material accessible in a complete digital collection and, in an interactive digital edition, to make it visible, legible, and searchable in ways that the original works are not.

WordPress

Victorian Lives and Letters Consortium

An organization composed of scholars, teachers, researchers, and enthusiasts dedicated to the digital publication and study of previously unpublished letters, diaries, and miscellaneous papers of important Victorian writers.

 

We also regularly work with people interested in creating mapping projects. In past years, we have helped build custom mapping solutions, for example on Plants & Planter and The Burning of Columbia. We collaborate with the USC Geography Department to help find appropriate resources for USC faculty, staff, and students for mapping projects.

 

Custom Mapping Project Examples

Plants & Planter

The digital resource for scholarship on the scientific pursuits and history surrounding Henry William Ravenel, a native of South Carolina and preeminent naturalist in nineteenth-century America.
