Digital humanities (DH) is an interdisciplinary field and social movement Digital Humanities are a movement in the research and teaching of the humanities, working to promote research, preserve, open, and make accessible its raw materials, documentation, and outputs, to establish infrastructures, and to enable sharing and expanding information and knowledge for research and teaching communities and the general public. This is a movement of renewal, empowerment, and enrichment of the humanities, making wise use of the possibilities embodied by digital technology, and positioning humanities research at the forefront of the information revolution, which is fundamentally social, cultural, and intellectual.

The active role of the humanities in the technological field allows for the development of new approaches and methods, including reflective and critical ones, to cope with the vast amounts of available information and with the possibilities of reading, modeling, representing, and accessing it. Among other things, the Digital Humanities movement has been shaping an expanding international knowledge community in recent years, engaged in building tools for research, enhancing its capabilities and approaches, and developing diverse digital resources.

As part of realizing the library’s vision and in order to promote research in the spirit of the above, a dedicated steering team was established for this field.
