The document discusses how digital technologies have revolutionized the practice of history by making vast amounts of historical newspaper articles, images, and records accessible online through services like Trove. This allows historians to analyze textual and visual sources in new ways, see connections between people, places, and events over time more easily, and involve the public by doing historical research openly. While the impact has been significant, the document argues the changes should be viewed as many smaller revolutions occurring between 1845 to the present day rather than one single digital revolution.
