Historians and Digital Scholarship

A recent news article in the Chronicle of Higher Education reports on a survey of the attitudes of 4,000 historians to digital scholarship. The survey “found that most are willing to try digital scholarship—such as interactive maps or online databases—but that the number of journals interested in publishing such online scholarship is tiny.” The journals in attendance at a meeting at which the results were presented promised to increase their digital capabilities.

The meeting was a product of the “Sustaining Digital History” project at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The project is one of the NEH digital humanities start-up grants. The Office of Digital Humanities at NEH recently issued a report summarizing the accomplishments of the start-up grants since 2007.
