Guidelines for the Professional Evaluation of Digital Scholarship By Historians (PDF)

With the evaluation of historical scholarship in constant flux due to digital innovations, librarians, historians, and other scholars are in need of clear guidelines for how to assess the merits of digital scholarship. This publication from the Digital History Working Group at the American Historical Association (AHA) provides just such a rubric. Composed by established scholars from Princeton, Stanford, and other universities, this text defines the challenge of evaluating digital projects, outlines the forms and functions of the developing field, elucidates the particular roles and responsibilities of departments and scholars in the digital age, and clarifies the role of the AHA. For historians and others concerned with the evaluation of digital resources, these guidelines will provide clarity and a way forward.
