> The Public Historian, a journal of the public history profession, seeks
> proposals for articles relating to the use of new technologies in
> historical research around the world.  Virtually every day brings still
> more evidence that historical research is being revolutionized by the
> application of technologies such as DNA analysis, forensics, GIS, new
> conservation techniques, and so forth.  Yet, as the continuing controversy
> over Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings shows, technology alone may not
> give us the historical answers we seek.

> Contributions to this special theme issue can address an array of topics,
> from applications of technology to historical problems to the impact or
> innovative use of technology in public history media (exhibits, film,
> websites, etc.)  What are the legal, ethical, epistemological, and
> educational effects of new technologies?  What mysteries have been solved?
> What interpretations have had to be re-examined?  Where lie the promise
and
> pitfalls of these new technologies for historians?  The editors also
invite
> articles with a historical perspective, those that assess the impact of
> once-new technologies (computing, audio and video technologies, microfilm,
> conservation technologies) on historical research, understanding, and
> interpretation.
