Abstract

This article, based on a presentation at the Future of the History of the Human Sciences workshop, discusses some of the potential benefits and pitfalls of digital humanities tools and approaches for historians of the human sciences. It reviews some of the major approaches that form DH and draws on the author’s experience as part of a team creating a large DH resource to consider the complications presented by these.
