About This Project

¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 1 Digital Humanities Keywords is a project of the Digital Humanities Caucus of the American Studies Association, but grows out of the multiple conversations within the broader digital humanities community across many venues: conferences and organizations, workshops, THATCamps, publications, individual and collaborative projects, and Twitter. It is offered to the entire digital humanities community with no particular emphasis on American Studies intended.

¶ 2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 7 The project is inspired by Raymond Williams’ Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society (1975; Oxford University Press: 1985) (see Keywords and Keywords) and by multiple projects that have worked to apply his keywords concept to specific domains of culture or scholarship (see Resources).
