Medieval History
A new survey of 4,000 historians found that most are willing to try digital scholarship?such as interactive maps or online databases?but that the number of journals interested in publishing such online scholarship is tiny.
Enter the Sustaining Digital History project, which is trying to make it easier for history scholars to publish digitally in well-established forums. The group held a daylong meeting last week at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where about 30 attendees tried to figure out how to translate this burgeoning interest in digital publishing into a new breed of scholarly work. Among the attendees were editors from eight historical journals (including the editor of the discipline?s flagship journal, The American Historical Review)?and by the end of the afternoon, each had committed to experimenting with digital scholarship.
