The Hidden Histories of California projects presented throughout the webpages above highlight aspects of California history that have gone underrepresented. Digital History represents the cutting edge of historical practice in the twenty-first century. Digital History methods provide opportunities for innovative problem-solving and new ways of thinking. The projects featured in this showcase represent how digital tools can help historians have an impact beyond the academic community by bringing academic scholarship to public audiences. The practical skills and intellectual training that our students gain in the Digital History program provide them with the experience and expertise that will help them become innovators and leaders in our local community and beyond. Through digital design the information comes to life providing access to rich histories anywhere internet access is available.
