Paper details
Digital history: new tools and techniques
History is changing. Access to vast collections of digitised resources, such as the Trove Australian newspaper database, unlocks new evidence and reveals new stories. But how do we make best use of such riches?
In this talk I'll be exploring some of the possibilities of digital history. New tools can help you manage your research or build collaborations. Collections can be visualised, contexts explored and connections made. But digital history is also about participation, finding new ways to publish, share and reuse your data.
I'll be drawing examples from my Digital Tools Emporium, Invisible Australians and the redevelopment of the Chinese Heritage of Australia website.
