The Programming Historian is a peer-reviewed academic journal of digital humanities and digital history methodology.[1] It publishes tutorials that help humanists learn a wide range of digital tools, techniques, and workflows to facilitate research and teaching.[2] It was based upon an original series of lessons written by William J. Turkel and Alan MacEachern of the University of Western Ontario in 2008.[3] The project launched as an academic journal in 2012 at the Digital Humanities 2012 conference in Hamburg.[4]
The journal publishes tutorials in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. It operates with an open peer review model, and all content is released under a Creative Commons CC-BY license, with no cost to the author, meaning it meets the criteria of Diamond Open Access publishing.
The project has twice won a "Digital Humanities Award". In 2016 it won "Best Series of Posts" for its English-language content.[5] In 2017 it won "Best Series of Posts" for its Spanish-language content.[6] The project has also been involved in social issues in digital humanities, conducting a self-reflection and survey into gender biases in the project in 2015 in an attempt to encourage more participation from female authors and reviewers.[7][8]
It is indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals.[9] It is also listed among proprietary databases and other e-resources at Harvard University Library.[10]
