What Historians Do

Goals of historians working in public history (on the web):
1. Make professional, scholarly history available to the public in a format that is understandable, accessable, and informative.
2. More to follow
How new media can help historians attain these goals:
1. Web sites that are professionally done
2. Web sites that are informative but not written like a book
3. Reasearch can also be done on the web that makes other (non-web) work in history more effective/professional
