Written assignment:
Study the annotations of DH projects
Choose 2 DH projects from this list and study them in detail (find the websites, research papers, reviews and other additional information  on them)
Make a comparative analysis of these two DH projects looking at the following aspects:
1) All DH projects integrate digital tools and technologies into their research processes: describe them, name their tasks and purposes
2) DH projects typically involve collaboration across multiple disciplines: name these feilds, mention their disciplinary focus
3) DH projects rely heavily on digital data: descibe those datasets and their sources
4) A common goal of DH projects is to make research more accessible to the public and to other scholars: name those who take advantage ot intended audience
5) Many DH projects are dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage through digitization: explain how they contribute to this process and what are the outcomes of their work

Digital Humanities (DH) projects span a wide range of disciplines, methodologies, and technologies. Here are some notable examples of DH projects that illustrate the diversity and impact of the field:
