Hidden and Devalued Feminized Labour in the Digital Humanities
examines the data-driven labour that underpinned the Index
Thomisticus-a preeminent project of the incunabular digital
humanities-and advanced the data-foundations of computing in the
Humanities. Through oral history and archival research, Nyhan
reveals a hidden history of the entanglements of gender in the
intellectual and technical work of the early digital humanities.
Setting feminized keypunching in its historical contexts-from the
history of concordance making, to the feminization of the office
and humanities computing-this book delivers new insight into the
categories of work deemed meritorious of acknowledgement and
attribution and, thus, how knowledge and expertise was defined in
and by this field. Focalizing the overlooked yet significant
data-driven labour of lesser-known individuals, this book
challenges exclusionary readings of the history of computing in the
Humanities. Contributing to ongoing conversations about the need
for alternative genealogies of computing, this book is also
relevant to current debates about diversity and representation in
the Academy and the wider computing sector. Hidden and Devalued
Feminized Labour in the Digital Humanities will be of interest to
researchers and students studying digital humanities, library and
information science, the history of computing, oral history, the
history of the humanities, and the sociology of knowledge and
science.
