"History and Computing" introduces its readers to the history and
practice of historical computing. While functioning as a practical
introduction to the field, this book is designed also to raise
awareness of the use of computers as an important tool for the
historian, discussing such topics as the pattern of 19th century
emigration from the UK; the performance of the American and German
economies in the 1930s; and the Lancashire cotton industry, all of
which demonstrate possibilities which computers offer to the
historian.
Through practical workshop exercises, History and Computing
provides a skills-enabling introduction to basic computer
terminology. Examining the use of spreadsheets and how historians
design and work with them, the book includes spreadsheet exercises
based around a range of historical data sets. In addition, the
authors explore the use of databases and demonstrate how to
construct them. Merging historical exploration and practical
instruction, "History and Computing" encourages further study and
prompts its readers to apply the skills they have learnt to a
number of examples.
