Postcolonial digital humanities has taken shape recently as an emergent academic field. Its lineage reaches back to the 1990s, when scholars Deepika Bahri and George Landow first created websites such as "Postcolonial Studies at Emory" (original version) and "The Postcolonial Literature and Culture Web." These scholars marshaled the text-based internet culture of Web 1.0 to establish sites of knowledge; identify key terms, theorists, and stakes for postcolonial studies; and to publicize the field. This website website addresses these opportunities by outlining the shape of the contemporary 'postcolonial digital humanities' through interrogating the ways postcolonial studies has evolved through different phases of internet culture from the original Web 1.0 postcolonial websites, to the "transmedia" shift beginning in the mid-2000s, to the later move to Web 2.0 and the rise of social media cultures.

Lord of the Rings Project, commonly shortened LotrProject, is a creative web project dedicated to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It is perhaps most known for the extensive and ever updating genealogy, the historical timeline of Middle-Earth and the statistics of the population of Middle-Earth. LotrProject was published in January 2012 by Emil Johansson with the genealogy as the only feature. To much surprise it gained a lot of attention which spurred the development of the site. Since then the project has expanded to become a creative outlet for Emil and now features several interactive Tolkien related projects.
