Nyhan, J. (2022). Hidden and Devalued Labour in the Digital Humanities: On the Index Thomisticus Project 1954-67. London: Routledge.

Hidden and Devalued Feminized Labour in the Digital Humanities examines the data-driven labour that underpinned the Index Thomisticus and advanced the data-foundations of computing in the Humanities. Through oral history and archival research, Nyhan reveals the entanglements of gender in the intellectual and technical work of the early digital humanities. This book challenges exclusionary readings of the history of computing and is relevant to current debates about diversity and representation in the Academy and the wider computing sector.

Nyhan, J., Passarotti, M. (Eds.), (2019). One origin of Digital Humanities: Fr Roberto Busa in his own words. Cham: Springer.

This book gathers, and makes available, previously out of print or difficult to access articles by Fr Roberto Busa S.J. (1913 – 2011). It includes a comprehensive bibliography, an oral history interview with Busa’s translator, and a substantial new chapter that evaluates Busa’s contributions and intellectual legacies. It is of interest to digital humanists, computational linguists, historians of science, technology and the humanities, as the application of computing to cultural heritage opens up new possibilities for transmitting, shaping, understanding, questioning and even imagining the human record.

Nyhan, J. (2012). Guest Editor of a special issue on the topich ‘Hidden Histories: Computing and the Humanities c. 1965-1985.’ Digital Humanities Quarterly 6.3.  (Open access).

The project “Hidden Histories: Computing and the Humanities c. 1949-1980” aimed to investigate the appropriateness of Oral History as a methodology for capturing memories, observations and insights that are rarely recorded in the scholarly literature of the field. Five oral history interviews were conducted with Willard McCarty, Geoffrey Rockwell, Harold Short, Ray Siemens and John Unsworth to uncover aspects of the hidden histories of individuals, their backgrounds and motivations in order to recover a more nuanced picture of the origins and history of computing in the Humanities. The transcripts have been lightly edited for clarity and to reflect edits that were made to the sound files to prevent sensitive or private information being exposed.
