[ 511 Every book is a product of many hands, a commonplace that is especially true for an edited collection of the size and scope of Debates in the Digital Humanities.And thus, first and foremost, I would like to thank the authors who contributed their work to this book. They persevered through a series of extremely tight deadlines, took part in a demanding peer-to-peer review process, and turned around revision after revision with dispatch. I am honored and humbled to count them as colleagues ,peers,and friends,and I am proud of the work we have assembled together. I am deeply thankful to the entire team at the University of Minnesota Press for taking on this project and seeing it through to completion.In particular,I would like to thank DouglasArmato,director of the press,whose astute advice and clear vision sustained the book as it moved from initial conception through final publication.
