Department of Digital Humanities

The Department of Digital Humanities (DDH) (formerly Centre for Computing in the Humanities) is an academic department and research centre in the School of Arts & Humanities at King's College London. Its current address is 2nd floor, 26-29 Drury Lane, London, WC2B 5RL. DDH represents one of the largest groups of digital humanities expertise in the world^{[citation needed]}, with particular expertise in XML technologies, structured data and prosopography, mapping and GIS, and user interface innovation.

The primary objective of the Department is to foster awareness, understanding and skill in the scholarly applications of computing. It operates in three main areas: as a department with responsibility for its own academic programme; as a research centre promoting the appropriate application of computing in humanities research; and as a unit providing collegial support to its sister departments in the School of Arts and Humanities. As a research centre, the Department of Digital Humanities is a member of the Humanities Research Centres, the School's umbrella grouping of its research activities with a specifically inter-disciplinary focus.

The Centre for Computing in the Humanities was established by Professor Harold Short in 1991, and changed its name in 2011. Paul Spence is currently Acting Head of Department; Andrew Prescott was appointed Chair of Digital Humanities in April 2011, and will take up the position of Head of Department in January 2012.
