The Programming Historian is a peer-reviewed open-access academic journal of digital humanities and digital history methodology.[1] It covers digital humanities research methods and also publishes tutorials that help humanities scholars learn a wide range of digital tools, techniques, and workflows to facilitate research and teaching.[2] The original project was based upon a 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 during the Digital Humanities 2012 conference in Hamburg.[4] The journal publishes in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
