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 the academic discipline of digital history actually is, and introduces a selection of the various digital methods that may be used by the history discipline for mediation, research and analysis from digital and "traditional" perspectives. The practical components of the course provide hands-on experience with a selection of digital tools that can include: digital transcription, databases, digital archives, digital mediation, and visualisations (GIS and reconstructions). We work with digitised source material and discuss the impact of digitisation and computerisation on historical research. The course also includes theoretical aspects, and enables critical reflection on how digital tools and digitisation may be used in historical research and mediation of history.
