The History of Humanities Computing
Susan Hockey
Introduction
.
Tracing the history of any interdisciplinary academic area of activity
raises a number of basic questions. What should be the scope of the area?
Is there overlap with related areas, which has impacted on the development
of the activity? What has been the impact on other, perhaps more
traditional, disciplines? Does a straightforward chronological account do
justice to the development of the activity? Might there be digressions
from this, which could lead us into hitherto unexplored avenues? Each of
these questions could form the basis of an essay in itself but within the
space and context available here, the approach taken is to present a
chronological account which traces the development of humanities
computing. Within this, the emphasis is on highlighting landmarks where
significant intellectual progress has been made or where work done within
humanities computing has been adopted, developed or drawn on substantially
within other disciplines.
.
It is not the place of this essay to define what is meant by humanities
computing. The range of topics within this Companion indeed sends plenty
of signals about this. Suffice it to say that we are concerned with the
applications of computing to research and teaching within subjects that
are loosely defined as "the humanities", or in British English "the arts."
Applications involving textual sources have taken center stage within the
development of humanities computing as defined by its major publications
and thus it is inevitable that this essay concentrates on this area. Nor
is it the place here to attempt to define "interdisciplinarity", but by
its very nature, humanities computing has had to embrace "the two
cultures", to bring the rigor and systematic unambiguous procedural
methodologies characteristic of the sciences to address problems within
the humanities that had hitherto been most often treated in a
serendipitous fashion.

Topics Covered in This Chapter
.
Beginnings: 1949 to early 1970s
Consolidation: 1970s to mid-1980s
New Developments: Mid-1980s to Early 1990s
The Era of the Internet: Early 1990s to the Present
Conclusion
.
If one humanities computing activity is to be highlighted above all
others, in my view it must be the TEI. It represents the most significant
intellectual advances that have been made in our area, and has influenced
the markup community as a whole. The TEI attracted the attention of
leading practitioners in the SGML community at the time when XML
(Extensible Markup Language) was being developed and Michael
Sperberg-McQueen, one of the TEI editors, was invited to be co-editor of
the new XML markup standard. The work done on hyperlinking within the TEI
formed the basis of the linking mechanisms within XML. In many ways the
TEI was ahead of its time, as only with the rapid adoption of XML in the
last two to three years has the need for descriptive markup been
recognized by a wider community. Meanwhile, the community of markup
theorists that has developed from the TEI continues to ask challenging
questions on the representation of knowledge.
.
There are still other areas to be researched in depth. Humanities
computing can contribute substantially to the growing interest in putting
the cultural heritage on the Internet, not only for academic users, but
also for lifelong learners and the general public. Tools and techniques
developed in humanities computing will facilitate the study of this
material and, as the Perseus Project is showing (Rydberg-Cox 2000), the
incorporation of computational linguistics techniques can add a new
dimension. Our tools and techniques can also assist research in
facilitating the digitization and encoding processes, where we need to
find ways of reducing the costs of data creation without loss of scholarly
value or of functionality. Through the Internet, humanities computing is
reaching a much wider audience, and students graduating from the new
programs being offered will be in a position to work not only in academia,
but also in electronic publishing, educational technologies, and
multimedia development. Throughout its history, humanities computing has
shown a healthy appetite for imagination and innovation while continuing
to maintain high scholarly standards. Now that the Internet is such a
dominant feature of everyday life, the opportunity exists for humanities
computing to reach out much further than has hitherto been possible.
