My classmates and I have launched our class website. Diginarrate.net is a collection of our individual works for the third year English seminar Textuality: Texts, Technotexts and Hypertexts at University College Cork. You will find a range of introductions into topics and links to individual blogs, all related and concerned with Digital Humanities. Why Diginarrate? For the new narratives and new knowledge that digitality provides.

I have given a page over to the need of digitization which can be seen here. In my opinion this is a universal need and this page only showcases one university’s attempt to digitize materials. This example highlights the necessity of accessibility to historical, cultural and social material for everyone to enjoy.
