Short Description
Originating from the Digital Humanities Project, spearheaded by Professor Roberta Gilchrist, the Digital Humanities Hub is a collaborative endeavour situated within the university’s library. Established under Professor Gilchrist’s leadership in 2022, the DH Hub at the University of Reading is committed to fostering research innovation in Digital Humanities (DH) while nurturing ambition and encouraging experimentation within the University’s Heritage & Creativity theme (Oliva, 2022). This hub defines DH as the intersection of digital technologies, Arts and Humanities, and scholarly communication. It offers a range of support towards digital research, from offering DH knowledge and skills to assistance in developing research proposals and grant applications. Moreover, the hub’s ‘Community of Practice’ provides a platform for university researchers, staff, and postgraduate students interested in DH to collaborate, share ideas, and discuss the challenges and opportunities of digital research. Its overarching objectives include elevating the quality of Arts and Humanities research at Reading and driving innovation through DH principles, digital tools, and methodologies.

简介
源自数字人文项目，雷丁大学图书馆数字人文（DH）中心于2022年在吉尔克里斯特教授的领导下成立。作为大学图书馆内的协作倡议，该中心致力于在数字人文（DH）领域推动研究创新，同时培养雄心，并鼓励在大学的遗产与创意主题中进行实验 (Oliva，2022）。该中心将DH定义为数字技术、艺术与人文以及学术交流的交汇点。它提供各种支持，从提供数字人文知识和技能，到协助制定研究提案和申请拨款。此外，该中心的「实践社区」为对DH感兴趣的大学研究人员、工作人员和研究生提供了一个平台，可以在此协作、分享想法，并讨论数字研究的挑战和机遇。其主要目标包括提升雷丁大学的艺术与人文研究质量，并通过DH原则、数字工具和方法推动创新。因此，该中心的建立标志着雷丁大学数字人文发展的重要时刻，从个别项目和专业领域转变为由跨学科专业团队支持的充满活力的实践社区（来源：雷丁大学，未注明日期）。
