What happens to historical sources, to the questions that historians ask, and the very stories that they tell as history gets digitized? Over the past four months, the students in Professor Shawn Graham’s “Digital History” course have been grappling with such questions as they explored what it means to “do” digital history. Their reflections on the course, and on the discipline’s “digital turn,” were published in a two-part blog post for Activehistory.ca. Their reflections are part of the website’s series, Beyond the Lecture: Innovations in Teaching Canadian History.
