Sage Publications - The SAGE Handbook of Web History

The Web has been a part of our social, cultural, and political lives for nearly 25 years. While 'new media' is no longer new, the rapid expansion of digital archives has created a challenge: we have more information than we have methods to interpret it. The SAGE Handbook of Web History provides the first comprehensive review of this growing research field. This handbook addresses the gap between the vast amount of available data and our actual understanding of how to analyze it. It explores the web through two primary lenses: using the web as a historical resource and studying the web as a subject in its own right. For researchers, students, and academics, this text offers a necessary framework for navigating the complexities of digital history and the evolution of online information.
