Projects

The Groningen Centre for Digital Humanities hosts several larger digital humanities projects. You can find these projects and their principal investigators below.

CLARIAH

The Common Lab Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities - abbreviated to CLARIAH - is a distributed research infrastructure for the humanities and social sciences. In 2016, the organisation launched a first call for proposals. The Centre for Digital Humanities currently hosts three CLARIAH research projects.

• Susan Aasman, Me and Myself: Tracing First Person in Documentary History in AV-Collections (info)

Data Science projects

In 2017, Research Innovation Support (RIS) at the Centre for Information Technology (CIT) organised an university-wide competition for data science project proposals. Four Digital Humanities projects were selected. The Centre for Digital Humanities co-funds these projects.
