How are digital humanists drawing on libraries and archives to advance research and learning in the field of religious studies and theology? How can librarians and archivists make their collections accessible to digital humanists?
The goal of this volume is to provide an overview of how religious and theological libraries and archives are supporting the nascent field of digital humanities in religious studies. The volume showcases the perspectives of faculty, librarians, archivists, and allied cultural heritage professionals who are drawing on primary and secondary sources in innovative ways to create digital humanities projects in theology and religious studies. Topics include curating collections as data, conducting stylometric analyses of religious texts, and teaching digital humanities at theological libraries.
The shift to digital humanities promises closer collaborations between scholars, archivists, and librarians. The chapters in this volume constitute essential reading for those interested in the future of theological librarianship and of digital scholarship in the fields of religious studies and theology.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The volume is not and does not want to be a comprehensive introduction to the
field of digital humanities. Instead, it presents insights in this important, fast-developing
research field that can potentially transform current research practices. The contributions are
well-chosen demonstrations of the state of the art in the digital humanities. They provide novel perspectives for specialists and might as well inspire scholars from the humanities who are new to the field to test these methods in their own research." Christian Deisenroth in: Religious Studies Review, 2/2023
