eHistory

University of Georgia historians Claudio Saunt and Stephen Berry founded eHistory "in the belief that new technologies make possible a new kind of research in the humanities, one in which students, scholars, and a broader public are full partners and collaborators." Similar to "citizen scientist" websites like zooniverse.org, eHistory seeks to "crowd-source" history research. On the website, readers can browse what others have added or contribute their own knowledge and resources to projects like Pox Americana (which covers the smallpox epidemic of the late 18th century), IndianNation (which collects the stories of the Native Americans who were displaced by European colonization), CSI Dixie (which uses coroners records to explore the antebellum South), and others. A number of these projects are wonderfully interactive and illustrate the way knowledge about the past can be created and consumed in today's digital world.
