Can History be Open Source? Wikipedia and the Future of the Past

by RoryLitwin

Can History be Open Source? Wikipedia and the Future of the Past, by Roy Rosenzweig, originally published in The Journal of American History Volume 93, Number 1 (June, 2006): 117-46, and republished on the web by The Center for History and New Media. This article discusses Wikipedia from an historian’s point of view, and provides a deeper discussion and analysis than we usually see.

I don’t believe there’s any relation between the author and ALA Councilor Mark Rosenzweig.
