This book looks at the application of computing to cultural heritage and how it is transforming how the human record can be transmitted and understood. although this has been on-going for more than 70 years to date there is no comprehensive history of such developments. The authors address this by uncovering, documenting, and analysing a number of the social, intellectual and creative processes that helped to shape research into computing in the humanities from the 1950s until the present day.By taking an oral history approach, this book explores questions like, among others, researchers’ earliest memories of encountering computers and the factors that subsequently prompted them to use the computer in cultural heritage research. Computation and the humanities will be an essential read for cultural and computing historians and those interested in the developments of digitisation of cultural heritage and artefacts.
