From 1995 to 1997, the Text Studies Committee within the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Arts and Sciences met to discuss how the internet was changing education and research. To keep up with the times, they suggested the addition of an electronic-text center in the UNL libraries. Proving to be a success, the E-Text Center was given new status as the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities in 2005.
Today the CDRH continues to help faculty begin creative, scholarly projects by providing special tools, platforms, workshops and guest speakers. These efforts continue to push UNL forward in the area of digital humanities.
