Editorial Reviews

Papers from a May 1997 conference held in Cincinnati, Ohio, discuss the future of history in the computer age. Contributors explore the ways in which the Web and the Internet have the potential to reshape history as a discipline, and look at new forms of scholarly interaction and publication fostered by the Internet. They examine ways computers can be used to improve the teaching of history, and provide examples of how electronic technology can be used in historical research. Paper edition (unseen), $26.95.
