Digital History

"Mapping technology has recently been the focus of much critical attention... We hope to foster an interdisciplinary conversation among scholars working on varied projects...in order to gain new perspectives on the advantages and pitfalls of mapping text, space, and place."
(Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory)

From the Department of History and Art History at George Mason University, in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution and the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media. "Digital tools and resources are transforming the ways in which we research, interpret, and communicate. This graduate certificate trains students in a wide range of digital tools that are in increasingly high demand in humanities careers. Students will use these tools to develop digital projects and enhance their professional portfolios, and an internship with the Smithsonian Institution will help students gain professional experience. Internships will be coordinated remotely, allowing students to work from any location."
