Digital tools and methods provide an opportunity to rethink how we build and transmit knowledge. One of the distinguishing features of studies with digital tools and methods is the two-way relationship between the humanities and technology: the field uses technology for research in the humanities while subjecting technology to humanist questioning. As a result, researchers and students in the field are exploring the great questions of human culture through the creative and critical use of IT tools to collect, extract, organize, visualize, and disseminate information.
At the University of Ottawa, students explore and learn about digital humanities in an undergraduate program now named Digital Cultures.
This Omeka site is dedicated to archiving projects by students engaging in Digital Cultures (and Digital Humanities) research at the University of Ottawa.
