Introducing the Digital Humanities

This guide provides a list of resources and brief descriptions of several varying areas that encompass the digital humanities.

Why games and the digital humanities?

Games, simulation and play can offer much for the exploration and teaching of humanities topics.  They provide a narrative structure that is altered by those interacting with the system through play and allow for the exploration and interpretation of different questions.  Designing games can also be a way to better understand historical and other systems as it forces the researcher or student to build mechanics to simulate events.
