DH Fellows Application

Each semester, the Digital Humanities Lab appoints one or more Digital Humanities Fellows to assist with courses that have a strong digital humanities component. These positions provide semester-long support for graduate students to engage with DH methods and theories in a classroom setting. DHLab staff will work with Fellows to design DH assignments, arrange access to electronic content, and provide specialized technical training.

Research Digitization

The DHLab supports digitization for the purposes of creating textual corpora, databases, or similar projects that will facilitate computational inquiries, rather than for the purposes of preservation or digital dissemination. To that end, the DHLab offers specialized equipment for Yale scholars to transform physical material, such as books and microfilm, into digitally-actionable research objects.

HistoryMakers Visits the DHLab

Julieanna L. Richardson, the Founder and Executive Director of The HistoryMakers nonprofit, visited the DHLab with her team to discuss the need to link public humanities and digital humanities efforts. The HistoryMakers project contains the largest national collection of African American video oral histories on record. The digital archive currently includes 2,000+ videotaped interviews, totaling over 8,000 hours of footage. These interviews have been transcribed, tagged, and made freely available for viewing.
