Digital History
The Department of History encourages faculty and students to explore, develop, and create digital history projects. Students have developed useful digital sites and faculty have created and participated in a variety of digital history projects. Many faculty have received internal and external grants for the development of course units for upper and lower division courses. Recently, eight faculty have received a prestigious grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop web-based units for freshman-level survey courses. Additionally, most faculty have created and do maintain their own webpages with links to their courses, useful sites for undergraduate and graduate students, and their curriculum vitas. The department also takes pride in the bold digital projects that current and retired faculty have created and made accessible on the World Wide Web.
