Summary
Hannu Salmi provides the most compelling introduction to digital history to date. He begins with a discussion of the digital past, the question of how history exists in a digitized form, and introduces basic concepts and ideas in digital history, including digital archiving, source mapping and public engagement. He outlines problems and methods in the study of big data, both textual and visual, and pays particular attention to the born-digital era: the contemporary age that exists primarily in digital form.
What is Digital History? is essential reading for students of history and other humanities fields, as well as anyone interested in how digitization and digital cultures are transforming the study of history.
