This book showcases innovations in digital humanities (DH) across efforts in India. It examines DH projects that have spanned private and public efforts institutionally sanctioned lab-work and crowd-sourced programmes of public significance and show how collectively they demonstrate the potential paths of DH in India.
The essays in the volume highlight the two fundamental challenges for the digital humanities (DH) — acts of curation of new scales and the creation of platforms that can assist in the collation and analysis of these digital archives — and changes in learning behaviour.

They examine the transformation of the university, and the opening up of new relationships between knowledge and audience in concomitant spaces of scholarship such as libraries, archives, and museums. The volume brings to the fore citizen efforts across the globe to document, record and preserve as well as create new avenues of study and forge networks of scholarship that look very different from traditional academia.

It also foregrounds the challenges of location and addresses the question of how DH should be taught in India and of building digital infrastructures.
A go-to guide for DH efforts in the Global South, this book will be an essential text for courses on digital humanities, library and information sciences, and online learning.
