The digital history: a certain idea and some illustrations
Keywords:
Historians, historical research, new technologies, digital historyAbstract
During the past decades, new technologies have challenged historians traditional ways of research, writing, and dissemination of their scholarship. My aim in this paper is to outline a general framework for dealing with digital history, suggesting a distinction between «history in the digital age» and «digital history»: between scholars using some forms of digital resources and tools (word processing software, PowerPoint slides, email, library catalogues, etc.) and scholars developing a new understanding of history, engaged with the role new digital technologies can play in studying the past. This essay analyzes both perspectives, presenting a large range of cases and its significances.Downloads
