Summary

OVER THE LAST few decades, digital humanities (DH) scholars have spent enormous amounts of time, energy, and money on the many activities associated with computer-enabled scholarship. Whether these efforts involved creating local, national, or international professional associations from scratch, founding journals and other publication venues to exchange ideas and promote professional standards, setting up training programs to introduce newly established tools and protocols, or simply coming to a shared definition of digital scholarship itself, the desire for a more unified and cohesive set of practices has been a constant among those who use digital tools in their research and teaching. Even as the field openly aspires to celebrate diversity and creative innovation, the drive towards standardization in DH practice across disciplines remains implicit in many of the initiatives now undertaken by those involved in computer-based humanities research.
