Faculty and students can get support for their research and teaching initiatives by consulting with CHASS IT and staff at the NCSU Libraries.

Part of the Chancellor’s Faculty of Excellence Program, the Visual Narrative Initiative has four faculty hires at its core, spanning History, Art + Design, Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. The cluster pursues interdisciplinary collaborative research at the intersections of visual sense-making, design and computation. 

With shared events, courses available through the consortium, library initiatives and varied research teams, there are numerous opportunities to engage with DH communities in the Triangle.

• Carolina Digital Humanities Initiative: an outgrowth of UNC’s Digital Innovation Lab, the CDHI offers opportunities for digital research and training at graduate, postdoctoral and faculty levels.
• Wired! Lab: at the nexus of digital and visual scholarship at Duke University, the Wired Lab explores research in digital art history and cultural heritage.
• PhD Lab in Digital Knowledge: a collaborative experience of “digital knowledge” among doctoral students in the region, the PhD Lab hosts events and workshops throughout the year.
• CHAT Festival: The Collaborations in Humanities, Arts, Technology Festival (CHAT) is a bi-annual gathering of scholars, students and digital media arts practitioners in the region. It is alternately hosted around the Triangle.

Many of these initiatives are coordinated among the Triangle Digital Humanities Network, a collaboration among NC State, UNC, Duke and the National Humanities Center. The group supports an array of shared events and resources in the region. Its core initiatives include: graduate training opportunities across institutions in the Triangle, including DH certificates and shared courses; guest speakers, seminars, and conferences in the region, from library workshops to THATCamps and the biannual CHAT Festival; and helping to connect researchers in the region as a clearinghouse for projects, contacts and scholarly opportunities.
