When History Is Not History.
- Authors
Steele, Brian
- Abstract
The article explores the differences between professional history and e-history, which refers to historical content on social media. The author suggests that the values and objectives of professional history, such as in-depth research and careful interpretation, clash with the instant gratification and commercial nature of the social web. They express concerns about the impact of e-history on historical understanding and the potential devaluation of professional history. The article highlights the tension between traditional historical scholarship and e-history, emphasizing the need to preserve spaces for scholarly inquiry and the development of historians.
