This report presents the findings of a comparative study of the digital humanitieslandscapes in the UK and China, based on a literature review and 45 in-depth interviewswith academics, funders, policymakers, and professionals across the cultural andtechnological sectors. It offers the first large-scale, qualitative cross-national comparisonof DH in these two countries and explores how cultural, institutional, and infrastructuralcontexts shape digital scholarship in the humanities. The research identifies both shared challenges and divergent trajectories in DHdevelopment. While the UK has a longer tradition of DH institutionalisation—rooted inacademic departments, project-based innovation, and integration with cultural heritageinstitutions—China’s DH field has grown rapidly in recent years, influenced by nationalstrategies, infrastructural ambitions, and an increasingly interdisciplinary academicenvironment.
