Journal of the Association for History and Computing

"This journal is sponsored by the American Association for History and Computing, organized at a conference held in Cincinnati in January 1996. The AHC aspires to promote and develop interest in the use of computers in all types of historical study at every level, in both teaching and research. We believe that computers and computing are rapidly changing important elements of the work of historians and students of history, constituting a major transformation in the way knowledge is created and communicated. A major goal of this journal is to help define useful standards to maximize the utility of computers in historical studies.The Journal is intended for a general audience of teachers, students, and researchers interested in the application of computers in historical studies. It is our intention to keep our readers abreast of the latest developments in the field. In addition to articles dealing with the creative application of computers to particular problems in history, we will also be reviewing relevant research in the field, appropriate software, and related Internet resources.We welcome contributions from those interested in issues or resources related to history and computing. For information on submissions, see our Style Sheet. This journal contains both peer-reviewed articles intended as a contribution to this field,and peer-reviewed works-in-progress intended to solicit thoughtful criticism. See the Call for Contributions for an explanation of these sections of the journal."
