Digitized and Born-Digital Sources in History

This lecture explores the ways historians practice history using digitized and born-digital sources, such as large unclassified collections, subject-specific collections, and born-digital sources. It delves into the heuristics, critique, and synthesis methods used in historical research, as well as the application of big data for historical analysis. The lecture also discusses the epistemological and anthropological perspectives through which history is viewed, emphasizing the importance of primary sources, archives, and writing in historical research.
