January 14, 2026– Week One
For choosing this course, I wanted to add more skills to my resume and have possible opportunities to learn more about new disciplines and avenues in the History field.
With Digital History it is the new addition to the history field that allows for Historians to create and digitize the areas of history they study. Creating new ways to interact with the study and connection of history to the public and other audiences.
On the other side, Digital Humanities is the larger term that encompasses all disciplines within the Humanities field–English, Art, History, and other disciplines–using new technologies to better understand and create new ways to explore the interaction between the academic fields and new and/or developing technologies.
The main difference between these two in my opinion, is the expansive nature of the Digital Humanities compared to the limitation of Digital History. There are also more applications for exploration and advancements in Digital Humanities compared to Digital History where you have to become cross-/interdisciplinary for further exploration and application of technology with history.
