Histories and Technologies: Method, Ethics, and Controversies in Historical
Research A Thematic Issue of The Public Historian
The Public Historian, a journal of the public history profession, seeks
proposals for articles relating to the use of new technologies in
historical research around the world. Virtually every day brings still
more evidence that historical research is being revolutionized by the
application of technologies such as DNA analysis, forensics, GIS, new
conservation techniques, and so forth. Yet, as the continuing controversy
over Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings shows, technology alone may not
give us the historical answers we seek.
Contributions to this special theme issue can address an array of topics,
from applications of technology to historical problems to the impact or
innovative use of technology in public history media (exhibits, film,
websites, etc.) What are the legal, ethical, epistemological, and
educational effects of new technologies? What mysteries have been solved?
What interpretations have had to be re-examined? Where lie the promise and
pitfalls of these new technologies for historians? The editors also invite
articles with a historical perspective, those that assess the impact of
once-new technologies (computing, audio and video technologies, microfilm,
conservation technologies) on historical research, understanding, and
interpretation.
Proposals for articles and nominations of books/films/websites/exhibits for
review are welcomed. For our submission guidelines and editorial policies,
please refer to our website, http://www.ucpress.edu/journals/tph/edsub.htm
or contact the managing editor. Articles in two formats will be
considered: brief "reports from the field" (10 pp. typed, double-spaced
maximum) and expanded articles reporting new research and analysis, usually
25-40 pp. typed, double-spaced). For either format, please submit a one
page description of the scope and findings of the essay, along with a CV
and your complete contact information (name, title, position, work address,
home address, telephones, fax, email?) by November 15, 2002 to: Lindsey Reed
