    \n

    Digital hermeneutics is a concept that enables historians to critically reflect on the various interventions of digital research infrastructures, tools, databases, and dissemination platforms in the process of thinking, doing and narrating history. Instead of falling into the trap of asymmetric conceptions (\u201canalog\u201d versus \u201cdigital\u201d), the concept of digital hermeneutics proposes a critical framework for making the methodological and epistemological tensions in current history practices explicit.
