In 2023, I was delighted to be awarded a Teaching Innovation Grant (TIG) from the Center for Teaching Excellence and Innovation (CTEI) to incorporate digital humanities (DH) into my teaching in an upper-level undergraduate seminar. Although the seminar — Health and Healing in Early Modern England (140.382) — is dear to my heart, I had not had the opportunity to teach it for decades. Literally. The last time I taught it, in the 1990s, we didn’t have any digital resources — the primary source readings were photocopies from microfilms!
