Digital Humanities Innovation Lab

The Digital Humanities Innovation Lab (DHIL) is a research incubator located in the W.A.C. Bennett Library at SFU Burnaby and using meeting space at the Vancouver and Surrey Campuses, 

The key role of DHIL is to assist SFU researchers with the development of digital scholarship research by providing consultation, training, mentoring, research software development and technical support to faculty and graduate students. DHIL represents an opportunity to align research in the Digital Humanities with the Library’s expertise in digital initiatives, unique special collections, and research-skill development programs.

See Digital Humanities Innovation Lab: Home for more information on the lab's activities and ways to work with the lab.
