What is Digital Humanities?

Digital Humanities is an evolving area of study that is continuously editing and changing its definition and name. Making a debut as early as 1950, Digital Humanities has gone through several names, but still deals with study of human culture and history. Humanities itself was the study of human cultures through the realm of literature, art, music, and philosophy. Now adding the digital aspects allow scholars to digitize the old study and allows new cultural operations to happen. DH broadens the spectrum in which scholars and communities can collaborate to create new ways of learning and reading, and also make the old information more accessible. As stated earlier, DH is always evolving, and that is due to the always evolving internet/technology allowing it to be easier for those interested in the study to learn together and create together. Nowadays, technology and the internet are key in society. Social media is a rising platform, which is beneficial by effortlessly creating communities. With growing environments and tools, the simplest of creations can be created from a handheld device such as iPhones or other smartphones and shared onto social media.
