History Bytes: October 2007
http://samanthadiamond.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 4, 2007. Weltner’s ‘Scholarly’ Site. A little voice inside of me cries ranking order, TEI, xml vs. html vs. xhtml? Although ignorance is bliss, I am happy that this course has forced me to realize (although I'm still stuck in a fuzzy stage) how everything works. One of my best friends sent me this email today and I thought it was a great example of everything we have been discussing in class. The email describes the racist web-site www.Jewwatch.com. Http:/ www.jewwatch.com/. Is the whol...

Don't know much about history: Do you really need to know what Freud had for breakfast?
http://rebeccagiesbrecht.blogspot.com/2008/03/do-you-really-need-to-know-what-freud.html
Don't know much about history. Tuesday, March 18, 2008. Do you really need to know what Freud had for breakfast? A common topic of discussion in several of our classes this year has been privacy. To what extent should we consider the privacy of historical figures? 8211; and has been around since the Second World War. But in the past few years its potential implications have become more apparent and have been cause for concern. Aren’t some things, after all, better left unknown? I am a master's student in...

Don't know much about history: February 2008
http://rebeccagiesbrecht.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Don't know much about history. Tuesday, February 19, 2008. World Fairs: Just Another Flash in the Pan? My first real memory is from 1986 – or rather, my first string of meaningful memories. I drove across the country with my mother and grandfather to attend my aunt’s wedding in Vancouver and the World Exposition that was being hosted in the same city. To be honest, m. Are these international events still relevant today? Perhaps the last truly important World Expositio. N was held in Montreal in 1967.

Don't know much about history: December 2007
http://rebeccagiesbrecht.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Don't know much about history. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Categorizing Knowledge, Danish Style. Libraries, and other versions of information repositories are, at least in theory, organized in a way that maximizes user access, and their resources are categorized into different branches of human knowledge. I guess I would have trouble in Denmark. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Other Public History links. Public History at UWO. Digital History course website.

History Bytes: January 2008
http://samanthadiamond.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Can you spot a fake? Many of us have received emails that have been digitally manipulated to create humour. This doctored photo of Tom Cruise is a personal favourite of mine. Many altered photos, however, can be more serious than Cruise's fictitious turn towards sanity. Altering pictures is not something new, or unique to digital photographs. Throughout history traditional photographs have been changed for many reasons. Many people alter photos for political and histori...Also,...

History Bytes: History’s Inferiority Complex: The Unsung Hero of Academics
http://samanthadiamond.blogspot.com/2007/11/historys-inferiority-complex-unsung.html
Friday, November 16, 2007. History’s Inferiority Complex: The Unsung Hero of Academics. History’s low ranking is somewhat surprising as 89% of respondents felt that history was an essential subject which should be mandatory in high school. It seems while the value of history in the classroom is recognized, there is a disconnect between history and its real life application. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
