Resources for research and teaching

Since there is a plethora of different digitals tools, platforms, databases and virtual research environments popping up these days we are trying to give a curated overview on those which seem to us recommendable for historians.

For this overview please see Awesome Digital History, a curated list by Moritz Mähr whom we thank very much for the collaboration.

The GIS Hub has recently been established at UZH as a service center that offers free support in the field of geoinformation systems (GIS) and cartography for research and teaching.
