Digital History Directory
The field of digital history is growing as scholars begin to work with digital technologies to present their work, reach audiences, and test theories. The field is broad, including historians from a wide array of subfields and areas of study. Our goal here is to allow scholars to get in contact with each other and learn of new work and projects.

About
As a former administrator with the Kentucky Virtual University (in Frankfort), my work in digital scholarship at the University of Kentucky (in Lexington) has continued to span both my personal research in US women's history and pedagogical innovation/experimentation. I continue to teach in SecondLife and my students' work in Kentucky women's history has blossomed with the Open Knowledge Initiative launched from my course, "Sisters in the Struggle." My most recent publication is a blog-like essay in Blee and Deusch's _Women of the Right_, titled: "Memoirs of an Avatar: a Feminist Exploration of Right-Wing Hate Groups in SecondLife.com.
