Computation and the humanities: towards an oral history of digital humanities (1st ed. 2016)

Digital humanities research is transforming how the human record can be transmitted, shaped, understood, questioned and imagined and it has been ongoing for more than 70 years.

However, we have no comprehensive histories of its research trajectory or its disciplinary development.

The authors make a contribution towards remedying this by uncovering, documenting, and analysing a number of the social, intellectual and creative processes that helped to shape this research from the 1950s until the present day.
