This guide has been designed to help scholars and students understand the changing nature of research within the humanities.

Below are brief explanations of the tabs in the guide.

HASTAC is key and central to the organization's operations and its mission. Rather than simply a website, HASTAC.org was developed to be a commons, an active, open online social network, where any member could contribute ideas and network with any other member. This was before Facebook or even MySpace. A 2014 National Science Foundation review described HASTAC as the "world's first and oldest academic social network."
