Digital Humanities is an evolving, cross cutting field within the humanities employing computer based methods. Research in this field, therefore, is an interdisciplinary endeavor that often involves researchers from the humanities as well as from computer science. This collaboration influences the methods applied as well as the theories underlying and informing research within those different fields. These implications need to be addressed according to the traditions of different humanities' disciplines. Therefore, the edition addresses all humanities disciplines in which digital methods are employed. Digital Humanities Research furthers publications from all those disciplines addressing the methodological and theoretical implications of the application of digital research in the humanities. The series is edited by Silke Schwandt, Anne Baillot, Andreas Fickers, Tobias Hodel and Peter Stadler. Milan van Lange, born in 1992, works as a researcher at the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam. He studied history at the Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen and did his doctorate at the NIOD and Utrecht University (2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021). His research interests are at the intersection of contemporary and social history, war studies, digital humanities, digitisation of historical archives, and innovation in research methodology, including the integration of computational methods, text mining, data analysis, and statistics in historical research.
