I have an increasing number of students interested public history lately, and so I’ve been working to carve out opportunities for internships for them in the field. This search has also turned up interesting sites online. One site that particularly caught my interest is a blog maintained by Tom Scheinfeldt, the director of George Mason University’s Center for History and New Media. Here’s Scheinfeldts description for his blog, Found History: Found History explores public history and digital humanities in all their forms. By taking seriously the work of amateurs and professionals alike, as well as new modes of digital scholarship and learning, Found History aims to foster a broader, more democratic understanding of what history and the humanities are.
