Abstract
If we consider interface design for the digital humanities, we have interfaces of three types. They are for collection access, text analysis, and experimentation. Adopting the lens of actor-network theory, we have in each case a set of actors, of which the interface is one. It plays a unique role in that it is a mediating actor - it exists primarily to provide a means of enhancing the communication between people, the technology, the abstract concept being experimentally investigated, or any combination of the three.
