Reviews
Web as History is a timely and topical collection jam-packed with interesting research and creative methodological discussions. I am convinced many humanities and social sciences researchers working in similar areas and historians venturing into this field, but also students on different levels - interested in the history of the Web or issues of method - will greatly benefit from reading this volume. --Nordicomm Review

'[The Web as History] has shared the first fruit of research and moved on from discussing the impediments to working with web archives. It is a starting point and a fascinating indication of what the enormous richness of the archived web has to offer.' Internet Histories 'The Web as History is a timely and topical collection jam-packed with interesting research and creative methodological discussions. I am convinced many humanities and social sciences researchers working in similar areas and historians venturing into this field, but also students on different levels - interested in the history of the Web or issues of method - will greatly benefit from reading this volume.' 'This book is definitely useful for anyone who wants to analyze site content, or who thinks about how the content of the Internet can be archived at all... [of interest to] anyone who is interested in the Internet as a social phenomenon.' Journal Czech Society
