Book DH Yale
Yale’s world-class humanities collections offer unparalleled source material for digital humanities inquiries. With the launch of the DHLab in fall 2015, we can now push these inquiries even further.

Possible methods include but are not limited to text-tagging, GIS mapping, network analysis, and topic modeling.
