CDH @ Princeton
advancing computational and data-intensive humanities to create a more just future
The Center for Digital Humanities (CDH) is a collaborative research community that welcomes scholars from all disciplines and all levels. We work on projects, programs, and outreach activities aligned with our core belief that humanistic engagement with technology will deepen our understanding of the past, illuminate our present, and create a better future.
CDH is an extraordinary model of how collaborative, interdisciplinary work can energize our campus.
