E-Book: Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web

An online version of this book, Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web, by Daniel I. Cohen and Roy Rosenzweig is available for free on the Internet (HTML version). A print version will also be available for purchase through several booksellers when it is released later this fall. The chapters of the book include:
  • Introduction
  • Exploring the History Web
  • Becoming Digital
  • Designing for the History Web
  • Building an Audience
  • Collecting History Online
  • Owning the Past?
  • Preserving Digital History
  • Final Thoughts
  • Appendix
Skimming through the pages, I can see that this is a very readable book that covers are the areas an project/program needs to consider. Now if there were only a downloadable version.
