Creating Digital History

Historians who work with the public, as archivists and public historians do, have a particular need to be comfortable with digital tools and aware of digital issues. This course gives students a basic grounding in the technological skills needed to conduct online historical research and to present the results of historical research online. It also introduces students to issues in digital history such as copyright and intellectual property, how the Web changes the relationship between historians and audiences, and the problems and opportunities of information abundance. Students will research a historical topic of their own devising, producing both an annotated bibliography and an online archive and exhibit.
