for history's sake. for what i know the first appearance of the words
«digital humanities» is around 1997/98:
Dennis Dillion. «The Changing Role of Humanities Collection
Development». The Acquisitions Librarian 9, n. 17–18 (November 3 1997):
5–15. https://doi.org/10.1300/J101v09n17_02.
David Green. «The National Initiative for a Networked Cultural
Heritage». Information Technology and Libraries 17, n. 2 (1998): 107.

i would be glad to know of any other previous occurrences of the two
words together.

the reason for this archaeology of names, is that only after we have a
name, we can clearly identify a thing and speak of it.

best
maurizio
