Jan 15th / 1: Im taking this class because it satisfies my digital intensive gen ed requirement and because I as a history major am invested in how to apply my education in the digital sphere. 2: Digital history is the retention and display of physical history such as manuscripts and other physical historical entities in the digital realm for further study and to broaden the scope at which they can be viewed and interacted with, digital humanities is an interdisciplinary use of the digital space to create projects and data through taking from other humanities such as english or history to create a whole set or project. They are similar in the fact that they both use the digital space but digital humanities does not necessarily always have to come from the physical and can use other digital spheres to create a whole.
