HIST207B

About the Course:

Prerequisite: Completion of 207A

HIST 207A (and B) are a two-quarter graduate research seminar on digital history with a strong practical focus. The focus for Spring 2025 was on acquiring a range of digital skills and experience with various tools, from setting up sustainable digital research workflows and data management through to learning the basics of data cleanup and analysis, minimal computing web publishing, and digitisation. In Fall 2025, students will continue to develop a digital project drawing on their own research and using some or all of these methods and tools. By the end of the quarter, students will have completed, evaluated, and shared their projects.
