# Digital Humanities Research Institute (DHRI) at SMU
* Digital Humanities Research Institute (DHRI) is a series of workshops that introduces you to the variety of skills that are involved in digital humanities projects. Workshops build on each other such that successive workshops use skills developed in earlier ones.
* Topics covered in these workshops include: an introduction to digital humanities coding, projects planning, and data. This repository contains a history of DHRI@SMU.
* *DHRI philosophy:* DHRI emphasizes foundational skills because we believe that it is the most effective path toward enabling digital humanities researchers to become self-teachers and mentors in their own right.

## A Foundational Approach to Digital Humanities Research
* We explain why understanding grounding principles in how computers work, in what it means to work from the command line, in learning the principles behind good practices for sharing documents, about how coding works, (what databases are), and how coding can be used to search, sort, count, and cluster in ways that can be helpful for humanistic research.
* There is a lot that personal computers allow us to take for granted when we do our work; however, knowing fundamentals can help humanities scholars become more confident users and critics of digital technologies.
* Such knowledge leads not only to becoming a better self-teacher, but to more reflective and informed technology choices. It allows us to save time in creating projects when we know what a well-formed dataset should or could look like, when we know what the difference is between using proprietary software rather than open source, and what kind of support might be needed as projects grow.
## DHRI 2022
* [This was the planned curriculum.](https://github.com/SouthernMethodistUniversity/dhri/releases/tag/ver22)
