Digital History 390

This class prepared its students, "to use and understand a wide variety of current and emerging digital technologies—everything from basic collaboration tools to more complex services such as data visualization tools and digital maps" (Bush).

History 390 teaches, "the fundamentals of digital literacy and asks you to, analyze primary sources, synthesize existing historical scholarship, construct a clear and convincing argument about the past, and tie it all together in a large digital project. [Each] semester will focus on Chicago’s history between 1870 and 1930. While we will be focusing primarily on that particular place during that particular historical era, you will be free to pursue a well-formed research question within that framework that reflects your individual interests" (Bush).
