The Scholars' Lab is a place where faculty and advanced students in the humanities and social sciences can explore digital resources, find expert help, and collaborate on innovative research projects. We also host exciting events, such as workshops, talks, and roundtables, and we sponsor a graduate student fellowship in the digital humanities.

The faculty, staff, and student consultants of the Digital Research & Scholarship department offer deep expertise in the use and creation of digital resources. We can assist you in project development and digital research, electronic text encoding and qualitative analysis, digitization of texts and images (including OCR), and your research computing needs in the humanities and social sciences. See below for contact information, view our office hours—or simply stop by the Scholars' Lab front desk and ask for help! You can also read about our research interests and projects over at our blog.
