What forms can the communication of history take in the digital medium?
OPEN HISTORY explores emerging practices aimed at exploiting the World Wide Web as a space for popularising history. It questions the role of communication design in digital history projects by addressing issues concerning historical data access, visualisation, and interactive narration. A selection of history websites, ranging from online exhibitions to virtual museum tours, from temporal maps to interactive documentaries, illustrates how design-led digital history projects supplement, expand, and challenge conventional public history activities.
