Synopsis

The first conference of the UK branch of the Association of History and Computing brought together archivists, computer specialists and history teachers from all levels of education. This book contains a selection of the presentations from that meeting demonstrating the "state-of-the-art" in historical computing in the specific area of databases. The themes discussed include the nature of historical databases, their creation from historical sources, their analysis in research in political, urban and medical history, and their exploitation in teaching. The contributions are grouped in sections on sources, methods, teaching and research. The section on methods makes a contribution to the debate about classification and coding. The final essay situates the field of historical computing within the discipline of history.
