"Digital History provides for the first time a plainspoken and thorough introduction to the web for historians - teachers and students, archivists and museum curators, professors as well as amateur enthusiasts - who wish to produce online historical work or to build upon and improve the projects they have already started in this important new medium." "The book takes the reader step by step through planning a project, understanding the technologies involved and how to choose the appropriate ones, designing a site that is both easy to use and scholarly, digitizing materials in a way that makes them web-friendly while preserving their historical integrity, and reaching and responding to an intended audience effectively. It also explores the repercussions of copyright law and fair use for scholars in a digital age and examines more cutting-edge web techniques involving interactivity, such as sites that use the medium to solicit and collect historical artifacts. Finally, the book provides basic guidance for ensuring that the digital history the reader creates will not disappear in a few years. Throughout, Digital History maintains a realistic sense of the advantages and disadvantages of putting historical documents, interpretations, and discussions online." "The authors write in a tone that makes Digital History accessible to those with little knowledge of computers, while including a host of details that more technically savvy readers will find helpful. And although the book focuses particularly on historians, those working in related fields in the humanities and social sciences will also find this to be a useful introduction. Digital History builds upon more than a decade of experience and expertise in creating pioneering and award-winning work by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University."--BOOK JACKET.

Once the range of possibilities on the internet has been established the book moves on to practical matters. Design, software, hardware, to hire or do-it-yourself are all discussed as is how to attract traffic to your site and how to gather data for sites like the September 11 Digital Archive and the United Kingdom’s Moving Here. The short history of copyright in the chapter Owning History is worth searching out on its own merits. The legal considerations involved in putting photographs, music and documents on the web are covered from an educator’s viewpoint with a warning that commercial sites will be held to different standards.
This is one of the finest practical histographies I have read and, from what I can see it is one of the most up to date. With a topic as fast changing as the internet that is no small accomplishment. The book seemed like a quick read. I say, “seemed”, because I have never seen the physical book and have no idea how long it really is. The entire book is available on line at CHNM, which is where I read it. The electronic version of the book is laid out in a way that struck me as ingenious. Every word of it is accessible on one page from inside a window. Each chapter is broken into sections and it all is accessible with little need to scroll down the page. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in doing web-based history. (
