Abstract
Challenges and Opportunities for Digital History
Highlights
As a consequence, many historians have become “digital historians” almost without realizing it through making use of the vast number of sources that are available from their desktop
Doing good digital history requires a number of things: firstly, historians need to critically evaluate digital sources in much the same way as they critically evaluated other sources and consider these implications in their arguments
This is more difficult than it should be because debates around the benefits and problems of digital sources have generated much heat but little light
Summary
Many historians have become “digital historians” almost without realizing it through making use of the vast number of sources that are available from their desktop. Digital sources are often interrogated using techniques that are not properly understood but are used uncritically.
