Syllabus – Digital History, graduate level
- benbreen 11y agoThanks for posting this. Very useful overview and much of the reading was new to me. Anyone interested in this syllabus might also want to check out Palladio, a Stanford digital history tool which grew out of the "Mapping the Republic of Letters" project mentioned in the syllabus. The basic idea is to allow researchers to easily turn their spreadsheets of historical/archival data into visualizations: http://palladio.designhumanities.org http://palladio.designhumanities.org They're still working out the kinks but I think it's a very promising idea. I do wish it was less focused on mapping networks of individuals as opposed to other types of historical data, though.
