History is Data, Data is History
关于我们
Today’s historians increasingly have to rely on new analytical techniques to sift through and make sense of large amounts of data. Digital history utilizes computer technology to develop and investigate historical research questions. It allows historians to conduct textual, spatial, and network analyses, and to visualize these results over time and space. As the prevalence of born-digital sources increases, technological fluency will be an even more important part of conducting historical research. Historians must know how to critique and understand the inherent biases built into algorithms, digital archives and various technologies.
The Digital History Ph.D. program at Clemson University is the first of its kind and the History Department is home to internationally recognized scholars. Current digital history projects housed within the department are funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Park Service, and the Andrew Mellon Foundation. The department has strengths in American History, especially Southern History, Slavery Studies, Women and Gender, and the history of Colonialism and Empire.

This semester, students in Professor Camden Burd's Spatial History and Historical GIS course explored how geography shapes our understanding of the past. In a recent class they visited Clemson's GIS Lab where they georeferenced historical maps onto modern ones, gaining hands-on experience with tools like ArcGIS to visualize historical change over time.
