ABSTRACT Digital History is a relatively new sub-discipline within the academy. Understanding the nature of digital history, especially whence its core principles have evolved and how key practitioners have applied digital tools in generating historical knowledge, is the focus of this work. If Digital History is to grow into a more meaningful part of the historical discourse, we must make certain changes within academic culture and adapt to longer term technical realities.
