Open Source Applications for DH Projects

Knight Lab 

Known best for their suite of open-source, adaptable, lightweight tools for media makers, Northwestern University Knight Lab is a community of designers, developers, students, and educators working on experiments designed to push journalism into new spaces. Their DH tools are easy to use and pose a low barrier for DH Scholars new to the practice. 

Other Tools

Below you will find tools from a variety of other developers. All are free and open source. Some of them are more difficult to use than others. If you need help, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Alabama Digital Humanities Center-- we'd be happy to get you started!
