About

Arts and Humanities Research Computing, informally known as Digital Arts and Humanities (DARTH), provides software engineering, consultation, and instruction to support faculty digital research initiatives. We work at all stages of the research data lifecycle, but particularly excel at modeling complex humanities data, helping organize and analyze data, and building innovative web platforms that showcase and visualize the results. In addition, DARTH sponsors lectures, workshops, and symposia related to emerging trends in technology for artistic creation and scholarship.

DARTH partners closely with the FAS Academic Technology Group, the Harvard Library, the Harvard Art Museums, the Digital Scholarship Support Group (DSSG), and various other individuals and organizations on and off campus to share ideas, pioneer common standards, and advocate for the unique priorities of a networked university.
