(D7, H1) Link 2: Digital History - 0 views

James (Mitch) Thompson on 12 Feb 11This site is of interest as it seeks to compile and make available a complete collection of historical documents, sorted and organized by area of academic or topical interest. Such a project is a prime example of the utility of a networked information age - students and teachers alike have direct access to primary source materials rather than depending on the analyses of others. Being physically distant from an important work is no longer a barrier to access. While not purely a link dedicated to the process of documentation, I think this is a valuable inclusion as an example of the power of digital documentation as an assistant to our own documentation.
