Digital tools have completely transformed the questions humanists ask, how they view the world and how they disseminate their scholarship. These new possibilities both open and close possible avenues of investigation.  When we look at a digital site, what is behind it?  What are the tools that have made this work possible? How have these same tools imposed limits on the project under examination? How can these tools advance on our own work and the dissemination of our scholarship? Together we will critically assess the role of digital humanities in art and architectural history through an analysis of selected digital projects as well as specific tools. We will analyze what  these tools make possible in terms of our own research and learn how to apply them. To sum up, how have digital tools been used up to now in a range of projects and how can we determine which are appropriate to our investigations. This course is open to advanced undergraduate and graduate students from any discipline although the sites and tools explored will focus on art and architectural history. No previous experience or familiarity with digital humanities work is required or assumed.
