Collaboration in Digital History
Even though we are often called on to be experts, digital history is a collaborative process that requires the expertise of others.

Methods
Project management is a key part of managing the ethics of your project, because it helps you bring all of the pieces of a project together into a single place to craft a plan for the future. We’ll use the Project Charter to do that: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17GUIxxPypHD0xvvdpGZWSO5bhv2tonLL/edit?usp=sharingouid=102900077033325114688rtpof=truesd=true
