The Project

Context

The progressive affirmation of digital historiography is introducing a significant opportunity for revision of traditional methods of historical research, teaching and learning. We are moving towards the possibility of having whole archives and libraries bought to use by a click of a (mouse) button. The digitalisation of printed documents and texts allows them to be easily consulted at distance but also allows access to films, audio and iconographic and photographic material etc.

Dissemination

The dissemination strategy aims to make the in progress and final results of the History On Line project accessible to the widest relevant audience.

The dissemination strategy adopted by the project partnership involves a series of actions aimed to make the results of the project available to individuals who are not directly involved in the project itself (dissemination) and to acquire visibility, institutional consent, official recognition, further financial support and feedback  on the project (sustainability).

In order to foster the dissemination activities and motivate the project partners, an ad hoc section on the History On Line website dedicated to Dissemination (please see http://www.history-on-line.eu/dissemination.aspx) has been created .
This section contains a list of all the dissemination activities that have taken place, along with a description of the activity or event including its organisation, its impact and the target group reached. This allows for the constant sharing of information on this topic among the partners who can learn and “be inspired” from the dissemination activities of each other.
