Welcome to DH Research at UT Austin
DH Research is a service offered by the Initiative for Digital Humanities and the UT Libraries Scholars Lab that provides access to basic hosting for digital humanities projects. It is intended primarily to be a sandboxing and prototyping space and a place to host small to medium-sized projects.
What can you do through DH Research?
Set up a Scalar, Mukurtu, Omeka Classic or Omeka S site. Or choose from these 100+ open source applications. DH Research has limited staff. This service is available by request to UT faculty and staff.
We will support faculty and staff in building Omeka and Scalar sites in the following ways:
