Digital History offers a set of methodologies that share the use of computation to ask and answer research questions that would be difficult or impossible to ask and answer without the affordances of computers.

My work focuses on using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard of XML to encode linked open data resources for preserving the cultural heritage of the Syriac tradition(see my CV for more detail).

Digital History methodologies are very broad and there are many resources available to train historians in their use. This website is my initial foray into offering some pedagogical materials for doing digital history. Above you can find links to resoruces for customizing the TEI using One Document Does it All (ODD) and Schematron.

Perhaps I’ll add additional materials later. But for now, enjoy these!
