Short introduction

Welcome to my course on digital history. In the course, you'll be exposed to a lot of material about doing history in the digital world and many of the tools/apps now available to historians for working with projects on the web. You'll also note that most of my projects and a lot of examples that I use can be loosely called "public history." Feel free to browse through many of the links in the course so that you can see different resources and models available to you. The course is an intro course, and so we move through a lot of topics very quickly. Make sure that you allocate enough of your time to successfully look at things. And think about a possible project from the very start of the course.
