About

Doing Digital History was a summer institute for mid-career American historians, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities, Office of Digital Humanities, run by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History in New Media, George Mason University. The institute took place August 4-15, 2014 at GMU’s Arlington campus.

Doing Digital History was designed to fill a much-needed gap for 23 established historians who needed instruction and a professional learning community to engage with new media methods and tools.

During the institute, participants, instructors, and graduate student assistants tweeted under the hashtag #doingdh14.
