eBook
Technology and the Historian
2021
Overview
Charting the evolution of practicing digital
history Historians have seen their field transformed by
the digital age. Research agendas, teaching and learning, scholarly
communication, the nature of the archive-all have undergone a sea
change that in and of itself constitutes a fascinating digital
history. Yet technology's role in the field's development remains a
glaring blind spot among digital scholars.
Adam Crymble mines private and web archives, social media, and
oral histories to show how technology and historians have come
together. Using case studies, Crymble merges histories and
philosophies of the field, separating issues relevant to historians
from activities in the broader digital humanities movement. Key
themes include the origin myths of digital historical research; a
history of mass digitization of sources; how technology influenced
changes in the curriculum; a portrait of the self-learning system
that trains historians and the problems with that system; how blogs
became a part of outreach and academic writing; and a roadmap for
the continuing study of history in the digital era.
