9. “The whole of our cultural inheritance has
to be recurated and reedited in digital
forms and institutional structures.”
–Jerome McGann,
A New Republic of Letters (2014)

10. “Humanities scholarship will not take the use of
digital technology seriously until one
demonstrates how its tools improve the ways
we explore and explain aesthetic works—until,
that is, they expand our interpretational
procedures.”
–Jerome McGann,
Radiant Textuality (2001)

11. “Digital technology has remained instrumental in
serving the technical and precritical occupations of
librarians and archivists and editors. But the
general field of humanities education and
scholarship will not take the use of digital
technology seriously until one demonstrates how
its tools improve the ways we explore and explain
aesthetic works—until, that is, they expand our
interpretational procedures.”

16. “Can we engage in the design of digital
environments that embody specific theoretical
principles drawn from the humanities, not merely
work within platforms and protocols created by
disciplines whose methodological premises are
often at odds with—even hostile to—humanistic
values and thought?”
—Johanna Drucker, “Humanistic Theory and
Digital Scholarship” (2012)

18. “Document and Explain Your Work. Faculty
members who work in digital media or digital
humanities should be prepared to make explicit
the results, theoretical underpinnings, and
intellectual rigor of their work.”
—MLA Guidelines for Authors of
Digital Resources
