How can historians use new digital tools to enliven and deepen our study of the past? In this presentation, Dr. Kyle Jackson introduces the field of digital history on a global scale, as well as several local experiments underway at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and the City of Surrey Archives.

Students Emily Deasy, Lucas Akai and David Piraquive share their experiences as authors of a smartphone app tour comparing the Spanish Flu and COVID-19 pandemics in the Lower Mainland.

This presentation was originally delivered at the 2021 BCHF annual conference.
