Welcome to Digital History 2018!

Welcome to digital history 2018! I look forward to meeting you at our first class. This site will serve as the hub of our course. The blog will function as a kind of class run publication. The course readings and commentary we write ourselves. It will also serve as the platform for sharing and getting feedback on draft work.

You can see examples of the kinds of work students have done in pervious versions of this course here and here. 

To get a sense of the kind of posts students have written for this course in the past, jump back to the very begining and start reading your way forward.

Start checking out the syllabus for info on exactly what we will be doing this semester. In our first class I will make sure we all leave ready to both use the course site and get into the work of the course.

 

Site Damaged: Much of it in Internet Archive

It looks like there was a vulnerability in WordPress that let the site get attacked. The result is that a bunch of the posts on here from last semester were replaced with some spam. On some level, it’s a grim last lesson for all of us in the course about how fragile digital information can really be.

I was able to recover a few of the posts through autosaves in the database. Aside from that, a good number of last semester’s posts were captured by the Internet Archive. I’ve included links to those posts below.

It appears that older posts have not been effected.

Digital Projects in Special Collections Presentation

I hope you all enjoyed Susan McElrath’s presentation on Digital Projects in Special Collections at American University. I thought her presentation did a great job at addressing how the work we have been looking at and engaging in fits into the institutional objectives of the University.

She has generously offered to share her slides with us. I thought the best way forward would be to share them here with everyone.
