Abstract
The purpose of this last part of Oral History and Digital Humanities is to be a capstone, a stopping place that ponders the connections between the two areas of study. To do so, we should begin with a definition of the Digital Humanities (DH for short). Fortunately, digital humanists have a mania for defining the Digital Humanities, almost an obsessive compulsion. A bit of googling for variations of the phrase, “defining the digital humanities” turns up thousands of websites and hundreds of blog posts and articles, as well as a twitter stream @DefiningDH. In the last few years a spate of books have been published that attempt to delineate and define the field. Any or all would be a great starting point for those new to Digital Humanities or for those who desire a deeper understanding.
