Digital History Ph.D.
Tackle the questions of the past with the tools of the future
Today’s historians must make sense of ever-growing volumes of data using digital tools. From text mining and GIS to network analysis and AI, digital history opens new pathways for exploring the past. As born-digital sources become more common, technological fluency is essential—not just for using these tools, but for understanding their biases and limitations.
