Information and communications technology is now an essential tool
for the historian and for anyone engaging in historical study.
Today's 'history workstation' includes computers, modems, scanners,
printers, digital cameras and a wide range of software applications
to access the World Wide Web and to analyse historical sources.
Sonja Cameron and Sarah Richardson provide a clear, jargon-free
introduction which demystifies the computing skills needed for
historical research. This step-by-step guide covers all aspects of
history and computing including: - presentation: from
word-processing an article which conforms to scholarly protocols to
presenting a slide show - history and the World Wide Web: hints and
tips on accessing and evaluating the wide range of historical
material available on the internet - databases: a clear
introduction which guides you through the process of creating your
own database of historical sources - spreadsheets: a lucid
explanation of basic quantitative methods, data analysis, graphing
and charting - digitised text and images: help on analysing
digitised text, creating images and web pages. The text is
supported throughout by worked examples using historical sources,
comprehensive illustrations, a detailed glossary and signposts to
further study where appropriate. Using Computers in History is an
indispensable aid to all those studying and researching history.
Students, family and local historians, and history enthusiasts will
all find this book informative and easy-to-use.
