About the Digital History Seminar

The Digital History Seminar has been
hosted by the Institute of Historical Research (http://www.history.ac.uk/)since
2012, in association with IHR Digital (http://www.history.ac.uk/digital).
It focuses on the discussion of historical research that has been made
possible by the use of electronic tools and resources.

the discussion with casual drinks or dinner afterwards. Sessions are also
