Abstract	The first of two sessions on Digital History and New Directions in Crusade Studies introduces three projects that employ digital resources to survey, visualise, and analyse textual and material networks and entanglements. Alexander Marx harvests existing databases to catalogue and categorise references to the Roman conquest of Jerusalem in 70 AD and fuses this data with his own database on the reception of the conquest in the Middle Ages. Focusing on those regions in the eastern Mediterranean under Latin rule in the 12th-15th centuries, Rafca Nasr is developing a digital research tool that will provide an extensive corpus of data on, and a systematic overview of female images belonging to various artistic media, while Isabelle Ortega and Anne Tchounikine are creating a digital resource to study, visualise and analyse noble family networks and their entanglements.
