HDRH provides a range of research software engineering (RSE) services tailored to humanities and social science (HASS) research. These range from consultancy on and development of digital research projects (or digital components of more traditional research projects) to provision of research infrastructure, storage, and computing. A small amount of digital equipment is also available for loan.
