The hub of all this innovation exists online, at a Web site relaunching today from its new home at the University of Richmond and dubbed the History Engine.
The site is the product of several years of development and successive iterations. The core idea is to create a resource for students to search and browse written tidbits — what historians behind the project call “episodes” — and to contribute their own entries to a growing online ecosystem that is connected via semantic links, time stamps and geographic tags (with mapping functionality on the way). This “moderated wiki,” as Ayers describes it, provides a basis for classroom learning, while its public nature — a particularly direct form of peer review, perhaps — energizes students in their research.

The humanities, as a scholarly disciplines, prizes individual scholarship. There is a long history of collaboration in producing joint works and analysis, but the greatest rewards go to those who have worked in isolation. The books and papers that emerge from that isolation make unique and personal contributions to scholarly fields. The book format provides a flexible medium for arguing, explaining, and demonstrating and a relatively long production period that allows for repeated interaction on a specific topic by a limited and known set of authors.
Digital tools enable a new kind of collaboration, grounded in a shared, rich representation (perhaps evolving with the collaboration activity) of textual, audio, or visual material. Digital representations of material can be searched and analyzed and altered at electronic speed. More dramatically, they lead to orderly cooperation by many, perhaps hundreds, of individuals. And all of these collaborators can access and edit the same representation of data from geographically distant sites.
