HIST 7372 - Digital History

Three credit hours.

In this class, we will explore the emerging field of digital history by both reading scholarly works and building a website. Our readings will examine digital production, information architecture, oral histories, and audio documentaries. Our website will include a digital file of an interview, scanned historical sources, and an exhibit. At the end of the class, students will know the theoretical background of digital history and will know how to plan, collect, and digitally publish a public history website.
