Visual Record in Digital History

Questions marked with an * are required

As an author who has written units for Visualizing Cultures, could you possibly share your thoughts on the project, the use of the visual record in historical inquiry and the impact and future of image-driven scholarship in the digital humanities? Your input as historians is vital in thinking through the ways the digital medium can change the practice of history and in identifying the goals of image-based research and publication models.

Many thanks!

How does working with texts compare with working with visual sources?

Can meaningful historical research be published using primarily visual images? Why or why not?
