Twenty years ago, when the digital history movement first started to flower, it was a challenge to find the proper tools or clear explanatory models to help those interested in the subject imagine how to translate their sources into these new techniques. Seeing the Past with Computers demonstrates how far the discipline has come and gathers together stories that seemed so needed then. The twelve essays in this collection uncover the new tools being used to bring sensory traces of the past (primarily visual) to life in history work. The topics discussed range from techniques for gathering and simplifying research into large collections of visual materials, to ways to use old images and objects to arrive at new insights into old technologies, as well as the use of newer augmented reality (Ar) technologies to help students and the public better understand the past. For instance, two essays, one
