About

The slides for the talk titled "Introducing the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition Toolkit" by Christopher Ohge (University of London), delivered online during the second week of DHSI 2026 on Tuesday, June 16.

 

The Digital Humanities Climate Coalition (DHCC) is a collaborative and cross-institutional initiative focused on understanding and minimising the environmental impact of digital humanities research. It has released a toolkit that helps individuals and organisations make better digital choices and assist scholars in building more sustainable digital humanities projects. After providing some background on the DHCC and the activities that it has been involved with in the universities, libraries, and archives, the talk will introduce the DHCC toolkit by touching upon several areas it covers, including Minimal Computing, Maximal Computing, Grant Writing, Working Practices, and Advocating within your Institution. The toolkit is designed to encourage researchers and administrators to adopt climate-responsible research practices. It aims to empower them to make climate-friendly technological decisions, and to support researchers who lack the practical knowledge about how to devise greener initiatives. As such, it aims to contribute to research training by raising awareness and providing practical tips on planning and management of one’s research infrastructure and data.
