Doing Digital History
An Introduction for Historians of Science, Technology, and Industry
June 6-10, 2005
The Center for History and New Media at George Mason University invites
scholars whose work speaks to the history of science, technology and
industry to a workshop on the theory and practice of digital history,
to be held June 6-10, 2005. Specific topics to be covered include
genres of online history, designing a website, creating a site
infrastructure, digitizing documents, identifying and building
audiences for online history, and issues of copyright and preservation.
Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of both the
technical and methodological issues raised by the practice of digital
history, as well as the ways that digital technologies can facilitate
the research, teaching, writing and presentation of history.
Co-sponsored by the American Historical Association and the National
History Center, the workshop will be held at George Mason University's
Arlington campus, conveniently located in metropolitan Washington, DC.
With support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, there will be no
registration fee, and a limited number of scholarships are available to
defray the costs of travel and lodging for graduate students and young
scholars.
As spaces and funding are limited, please submit an application form by
March 1, 2005 ( available at
