7 Values

Another shared value between History and Digital Humanities is the emphasis on collaboration and open access. Historians often collaborate with scholars from other disciplines, such as sociology or archaeology, to gain different perspectives on historical events. Digital Humanities also thrives on collaboration, bringing together scholars, technologists, and designers to create digital projects that serve a wide audience.

Both History and DH value making research openly accessible. DH projects, in particular, often focus on open-source tools and freely available digital archives, while historians work to publish research and make primary sources available in public repositories. This commitment to openness fosters a culture of shared knowledge and interdisciplinary exchange, which supports both the pursuit of human understanding and the mission of Digital Humanities in making knowledge available to all.
