How do we make the past into history? In this unit you'll learn how to make histories. You'll consider different ideas about history-making, and then practice critical use of various historical sources - many of which will be online - such as life writing, oral history, archival records, newspapers, visual sources, material culture, and landscape. You'll apply these new ideas and intriguing sources by developing a proposal for an original history research project (for a written dissertation or for an exhibition, website, film or radio), and you will produce a short online digital history which profiles your project. -- Course Website
