Digital humanities is an interdisciplinary field that combines traditional humanities disciplines (such as history, literature, and philosophy) with digital tools and methods for research, analysis, and communication. It involves using digital technologies to enhance the study of the humanities, including the creation, preservation, and dissemination of cultural artifacts and knowledge.

Some of the areas of focus in digital humanities include text analysis, data visualization, digital publishing, mapping, and digital archiving. Scholars in the field use a variety of digital tools and techniques to analyze and interpret historical and cultural artifacts, including digital archives, databases, and other forms of digital media.

Digital humanities can involve collaborations among scholars from a range of disciplines, including computer science, information science, and library science.
