This page offers a basic overview of the wide field of Digital Humanities, albeit no more than a kind of web directory with some comments. There are three main sections: a general section with also attention to structures and organizations, a section on a number of themes with special attention to text editing and digital philology, and a section with overviews of relevant projects. Some websites might figure easily under two or more headings or under a different heading. A number of themes and aspects clearly deserve more attention here. You are welcome to suggest any additions.
I created the first version of this page in German during the summer 2019 at my blog Glossae about a twelfth-century fragment of the Digest with early glosses. The overview seemed to fit here equally, with of course updates and some adjustments.
