On Making in the Digital Humanities
The scholarship of digital humanities development in honour of John Bradley

Edited by Julianne Nyhan, Geoffrey Rockwell, Stéfan Sinclair, and
Alexandra Ortolja-Baird

On Making in the Digital Humanities fills a gap in our understanding of
digital humanities projects and craft by exploring the processes of
making as much as the products that arise from it.

The volume draws focus to the interwoven layers of human and
technological textures that constitute digital humanities scholarship.
To do this, it assembles a group of well-known, experienced and emerging
scholars in the digital humanities to reflect on various forms of making
(we privilege here the creative and applied side of the digital
humanities). The volume honours the work of John Bradley, as it is
totemic of a practice of making that is deeply informed by critical
perspectives. A special chapter also honours the profound contributions
that this volume’s co-editor, Stéfan Sinclair, made to the creative,
applied and intellectual praxis of making and the digital humanities.
Stéfan Sinclair passed away on 6 August 2020.

The chapters gathered here are individually important, but together
provide a very human view on what it is to do the digital humanities, in
the past, present and future. This book will accordingly be of interest
to researchers, teachers and students of the digital humanities;
creative humanities, including maker spaces and culture; information
studies; the history of computing and technology; and the history of
science and the humanities.
