History and the Internet
The Internet is a phenomenon studied from a wide variety of academic disciplinary perspectives, from those of sociology, to political science, to psychology, to philosophy. But there is scope for a more thorough application of historical knowledge in this area. This event will seek to provide an historical perspective in order better to appreciate the significance and implications of the Internet.
A mixture of academic historians and practitioners from institutions such as Parliament and The National Archives will take part.
Subjects considered will include:
The impact of earlier communications technologies, in particular the printing press;
Historical perspectives on big data; and
The implications of the Internet for the work of historians, archivists and government institutions.
