1. In 2011, Roy Rosenzweig’s spouse, Deborah Kaplan, published a posthumous collection of her husband’s essays on digital history, titled Clio, Wired: The Future of the Past in the Digital Age (New York: Columbia University Press, 2011). To say this collection and the essays therein have been instrumental to our current understanding of digital history would be an understatement. However, like many other collections of digital history, and despite Rosenzweig’s focus on the web for publicizing and democratizing history, there are few mentions of women in this text. By alluding to this work in my title, I do not disagree with anything posited by Rosenzweig, but I do argue for a pedagogy in which future digital historians can see themselves in the open history web that he spoke so highly of, regardless of their gender, sexuality, or race.
