Digital Humanities at the University of Münster

Digital Humanities (DH) apply computer-based methods to answer traditional questions in the humanities. Digitized or digital sources as well as research resources are linked and rethought for research and utilization in the digital realm. Images, texts – including entire text corpora – as well as audiovisual material are analyzed with the help of computers. In addition, complex data structures can be visualized and thus made explorable. The application of DH methods enables humanities research to gain new insights.
