| Abstract: | Computers have been used in research in the humanities since the 1950's, but until fairly recently this remained rather a fringe activity confined to a small band of enthusiasts. But improvements in mainframe hardware and software, the introduction of microcomputers and intelligent terminals and developments in networking have all stimulated the range of applications of computers to the humanities for research, wordprocessing and computer aided instruction. The development of computing in the Arts in the UK is reviewed as a case study, and some of the implications of the recent increase in the use of computers in the humanities are discussed. |
