This book is really good, especially on this point: 'A focus on Digital History can make the rest of the historical profession think that "we are not digital historians", as they fire up their web browsers and research over the Internet. We are all digital now.' 🗃️ www.cambridge.org/core/books/t...

I’m so excited to go to DHSI-EAST and learn about digital sustainability. This four migration project year is sooo much. A sustainability plan instead of disaster mitigation is the way we need to go!
