I meant to write a real post this week, but life (procrastination?) got in the way. So much for my time management skills. Instead, I’m offering a few articles that I’ve been meaning to read about digital history. I’ve looked through several course syllabi on digital history because I doubt I’ll have the chance to take a class on the subject (though I’m dying to attend a THATCamp) — so here’s my attempt at self-education.
- Ayers, Edward L. (1999). “The Pasts and Futures of Digital History.”
- Cohen, Daniel J. and Rosenzweig, Roy. (2005). Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web.
- Fitzpatrick, Kathleen. (2009). Planned Obsolescence.
- Leary, Patrick. (2005). “Googling the Victorians.” Journal of Victorian Culture, 10(1), 72-86.
- “Interchange: The Promise of Digital History.” Journal of American History, 95(2).
I’m also kind of obsessed with the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University but have yet to browse all their projects. And I seriously need to catch up on Digital Campus podcasts.
