Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Crymble seamlessly integrates print, digital, oral history, and interactive source material to document the ways historians have responded, both individually and as an imagined community, to the social contexts that have shaped our interactions with technology." --Journal of American History
"Crymble gives me a greater appreciation for how my own course in ‘digital history’ fits within and reflects broader patterns of discourse about technology and the past." --Corinthian Matters
"This book explodes many of the foundation myths upon which digital history has been built; and replaces them with a clear-eyed account that melds historiography, technology, and pedagogy. In beautiful prose Crymble has identified the streams of influence that have shaped the field."--Tim Hitchcock, University of Sussex
"Crymble's work provides an insightful historiographical examination of how computer technology has been impacted in various practices pertaining to the field of history. This book merits attention from students, researchers, and practitioners of the historical profession, as it serves as a salient reminder that technology has long pervaded, transformed, and continually shaped every dimension of our discipline." --Middle Ground Journal
