Digital Humanities Summer Fellowships
The Simpson Center offers annual summer fellowships for faculty and graduate students to pursue research projects that use digital technologies in innovative and intensive ways and/or explore the historical, social, aesthetic, and cross-cultural implications of digital cultures. The program has three primary goals:
- To animate knowledge—using rich media, dynamic databases, and visualization tools
- To circulate knowledge—among diverse publics
- To understand digital culture—historically, theoretically, aesthetically, and generatively
The Simpson Center gratefully acknowledges the support of a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as well as many donors to the endowment which is underwriting these fellowships.

Reading Networks
In collaboration with researchers at Stanford University and the University of Toronto, Reading Networks in Renaissance England will use digital interoperable environments to identify and analyze scribal additions to the manuscripts and books collected by Elizabeth I’s Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker, England's first self-described antiquary and custodian of one of the most important surviving libraries of early literature in English.
