Finding Your Way around New York
The best way of getting around New York is to use public transport or walk, particularly for short distances. Most New Yorkers make extensive use of the subway, which is usually the quickest way to get around the city if it’s too far on foot. You will probably still have to walk a few blocks on each end of your journey, so make sure you pack warm clothes and comfortable shoes.
AHA15 Digital Projects Lightning Round
This lightning round invites historians working on digital projects to share their work in a series of five-minute presentations. Digital technologies have expanded the reach of scholarship in the way scholars communicate their research to an audience and present findings, as well as influencing the questions they ask in planning a research project.
Getting Started in Digital History 2015
Introductory-track attendees get two short overviews on different digital-history approaches, while intermediate sessions are longer and focused on skill acquisition in a single digital-history methodology.
