Digital history spans disciplines and can take many forms. New modes of
publication, new methods for doing research, and new channels of
communication are making historical research richer, more relevant and
more widely accessible. Many applications of computer based research and
publication are natural extensions of the established techniques for
researching and writing history. Others are consciously
experimental. Although computer technology started to revolutionize
the discipline of history many decades ago, genres and formats for [read more...]
