Summary / Abstract:

ENThe paper provides an overview of the digital humanities landscape in Lithuania, highlighting key initiatives, strategies, and resources that contribute to the field's development. It begins by defining the broad and evolving scope of digital humanities, examining its interdisciplinary nature and the challenges in establishing clear boundaries of the field. Admitting a major role of digital humanities in preserving cultural and national heritage, the paper overviews key initiatives in Lithuania, prominent heritage digitization platforms, along with significant language resources. The paper also presents several digital humanities’ use cases, including offensive language identification and digital archives of Lithuanian literature. The conclusion reflects on future trends, emphasizing the increasing role of artificial intelligence and the continued digitization of cultural heritage in advancing digital humanities in Lithuania. Keywords: digital humanities, cultural heritage digitisation, Lithuanian language resources, heritage platforms. [From the publication]
