Incorporation mechanisms of H_2 in silica glass were studied with Raman and infrared (IR) microspectroscopy. Hydrogenated samples were prepared at temperatures between 800 deg C and 955 deg C at 2 kbar total pressure. Hydrogen fugacities (f_{H_2}) were controlled using the double capsule technique with the iron-w\"ustite (IW) buffer assemblage generating f_{H_2} of 1290-1370 bars corresponding to H_2 partial pressures (P_{H_2}) of 960-975 bars. We found that silica glass hydrogenated under such conditions contains molecular hydrogen (H_2) in addition to SiH and SiOH groups. H_2 molecules dissolved in the quenched glasses introduce a band at 4136 cm^{-1} in the Raman spectra which in comparison to that of gaseous H_2 is wider and is shifted to lower frequency. IR spectra of hydrogenated samples contain a band at 4138 cm^{-1} which we assign to the stretching vibration of H_2 molecules located in non-centrosymmetric sites. The Raman and IR spectra indicate that the dissolved H_2 molecules interact with the silicate network. We suggest that the H_2 band is the envelope of at least three components due to the occupation of at least three different interstitial sites by H_2 molecules. Both, Raman and IR spectra of hydrogenated glasses contain bands at ~2255 cm^{-1} which may be due to the vibration of SiH groups.
