Digital History: Methods, Resources and Ontologies

Education facts

Code: 4HI505

The course "Digital History: Methods, Resources and Ontologies" is a continuation course in digital history, which is a subfield of digital humanities. The course discusses what digital history actually is, and introduces a selection of the various digital methods that may be used for traditional as well as digital mediation, research and analysis within the subject of history. The practical components of the course provide hands-on experience with a selection of digital tools: digital transcription, databases, digital archives, digital mediation, and visualisations (GIS and reconstructions). We work with digitised source material and discuss the impact of digitisation on historical research. The course also includes theoretical aspects, and enables a critical review of how digital tools and digitisation may be used in historical research and mediation of history.
