The interdisciplinary field of Digital Environmental Humanities (DEH) creates space for the merging of environmental historical research with dynamic digital storytelling tools. For environmental historians, tools such as story maps and digital exhibits can be interactive and engaging conduits for framing and sharing different aspects of research.
Below is a curated selection of resources such as digital storytelling tools and resources for finding geospatial, climate, and biodiversity data. This collection is not exhaustive, and is intended as a starting place for further exploration!
