Heidelberg Research Architecture
The Heidelberg Research Architecture (HRA) is the Digital Humanities Unit at the HCTS. The HRA focuses on digital humanities research, including consulting, data management plans, teaching, and various aspects of digital literacy. We offer partnership and advice for researchers and students, for current and planned projects and can organize training sessions. We support you in the development of all kinds of digital resources, be they visual, textual, audio-visual, or multi-modal.
