Digital Humanities Questions & Answers

About

We're building a community-based Q&A board for digital humanities questions that need (just a little) more than 140 character answers.

@DHAnswers is a collaborative project of the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) and the Chronicle of Higher Education's ProfHacker.
