Arts-humanities.net is a project that encourages the use and understanding of digital tools and methods for the purpose of teaching and research in humanities computing. It acts as a stepping-stone to a wide variety of scholarly projects and articles that support and implement tools and technology associated with the digital arts and humanities. One of the project's main goals is to advance and promote the use of digital tools and methods for research and teaching in the humanities and arts.
