Historians make research queries on Google, ProQuest, and the
HathiTrust. They garner information from keyword searches, carried
out across millions of documents, their research shaped by
algorithms they rarely understand. Historians often then visit
archives in whirlwind trips marked by thousands of digital
photographs, subsequently explored on computer monitors from the
comfort of their offices. They may then take to social media or
other digital platforms, their work shaped through these new forms
of pre- and post-publication review. Almost all aspects of the
historian's research workflow have been transformed by digital
technology. In other words, all historians - not just Digital
Historians - are implicated in this shift. The Transformation of
Historical Research in the Digital Age equips historians to be
self-conscious practitioners by making these shifts explicit and
exploring their long-term impact. This title is also available as
Open Access on Cambridge Core.
