DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades\, a computer and access to the inter
 net have been added to\, or in some cases even replaced\, the standard too
 ls of researchers and teachers in the humanities. With the increasing avai
 lability of digital content as well as seemingly abundant computing and ne
 twork power\, there is now a chance to make use of “big data” to count
 er “big science” with “big humanities” - or\, in perhaps even more
  cases\, a somewhat different “small humanities”. In order to fully un
 leash the potential of digital technologies\, the humanities need a resear
 ch infrastructure suited to new ways of working. Using concrete examples o
 f innovative work in this area\, I will argue the case for the humanities 
 to reclaim lost ground by embracing the opportunities of the digital revol
 ution. This will also have to include thinking about some of the challenge
 s and looking back at lessons learned through digital humanities activitie
 s over the past five years.
