Introduction

Scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) are using increasingly complex computational tools, methods, and techniques in their research. There are three elements of the current landscape that place the HSS in a position for rapid growth:

  • increasing open source data;
  • increasing access to significant computing power and tools; and
  • growing research computing competency among humanities researchers.

To support researchers in the HSS, the Digital Research Alliance of Canada has a dedicated team of professionals led by a HSS specialist. For more information, please contact the HSS Team via email (hss@computecanada.ca) or browse the additional information below.

  • Collaboration Services – Sites located across Canada are capable of both delivering and viewing large video conferences.
  • Cloud – Virtual-machine development space that includes an outward-facing IP address.
  • Computation – Expandable power ranging from the equivalent of a second desktop to supercomputers with thousands of cores, terabytes of RAM, and a variety of system architectures.
  • General Analyst/Consultant Support – Consultations regarding project architecture and resource needs with technical experts with skills ranging from specialty software selection to program optimization.
  • Globus – Fast, secure, sharing and fire-and-forget file transfers.
  • Nextcloud – 50Gb of shareable, Dropbox-like space available across multiple devices.
  • Platforms and Portals – Hosting for specialized data and tools for entire research communities.
  • Specialized Software – More than 900 software programs and packages already integrated with national compute clusters.
  • Storage – Robust storage solutions for backup and mid- to long-term storage.
  • Training – Training sessions covering core skills offered regularly and custom courses available on request. Please see below for all training opportunities, including those pertinent to Humanities and Social Sciences for your specific region.
