Digital Humanities Lab

The members of the Digital Humanities Lab develop new methods and systems at the boundary between Art History and Computer Science. It also coordinates the digital infrastructures of the Bibliotheca Hertziana. The DH Lab also maintains a network of researchers and developers, from within the institute’s departments as well as from external institutions.
Together we collaborate on a range of DH projects, including digital mapping, text and image digitization, computer vision, digital publishing and Open Science. The Bibliotheca Hertziana welcomes fellowship applications from PhD students and postdoctoral researchers working in the Digital Humanities.
We are members of the Consortium for Open Research Data in the Humanities (CORDH).

Research Projects
