Required Summer Reading: The Entire Contents of the Digital Humanities Quarterly

The Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ) is an open-access, peer-reviewed, online journal managed by editor-in-chief and professor Julia Flanders at Northeastern University. Through a collaboration of editors from institutions across the globe, the DHQ publishes scholarly articles, editorials, book or media reviews, and much more. Its mission is to make a wide-range of materials produced in the digital humanities openly accessible online. As a public history student with a special interest in seeing texts and objects preserved digitally, I approached Prof. Flanders about an introduction to the digital humanities in January 2014. By the summer, I found myself working on an enlightening research project that got me thinking about the relationship between public history and the digital humanities.
