This course is designed to introduce history graduate students to the theories and methods of digital history, preparing them to do cutting edge historical work in a digital environment, using digital tools and methods. We will pursue both the technical and theoretical aspects of digital history by using a combination of readings in the field, assessments of existing digital sites and tools, and hands on work with those tools. By the close of the semester students will have: 1) formed an understanding of the scope of the field of digital history and the work that has been produced in that field; 2) gained a familiarity with the scholarly community that works on digital history and their current major debates; 3) developed a sense of the ways that digital history work fits into the larger concerns of scholarly communication and the digital humanities as a whole; 4) established a working knowledge the basic tools and methods of digital history; 5) and established a scholarly digital identity and begun creating their own digital history work.
