History in the Digital Age

Historians have only very recently started thinking about the impact of the digital age on how we study history. This book explores changing perceptions of the field of history in the digital age, and examines new questions, challenges and opportunities in the field of historical study, teaching and learning. The volume includes chapters on the conceptual challenges and opportunities faced by scholars and students of history brought about by the digital age, the topicality of the issue and the differences and similarities in geographic approach, especially in the UK and North America, and discusses whether the digital age is helping history become more universal.
