About eHistory
Welcome to eHistory! The
Department of History at The
Ohio State University is proud to be the home of eHistory.
All of the wonderful historical resources of the older eHistory site are on the site for
you to use, as well as new content like our MultiMedia Histories, Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective, and montly Book Reviews.
We've redesigned the site in an effort to better serve you and to better
reflect the academic nature of the university with an emphasis on research,
teaching and outreach. The first step was a transition to a new server
environment and the removal of the banner ads and store, followed by a redesign of the site itself.
Our next step is a move to a new html5 format that will be tablet and mobile friendly as well as more accessible and easier to navigate. We appreciate your patience as
we work towards the full vision that is the new eHistory at The
Ohio State.
Be assured that we are committed to keeping
the site free and available to the millions of users who have come to
eHistory for all things historical.
The Department of History extends its deep
appreciation to Scott Laidig and the entire eHistory.com team for
entrusting us with the site! In the near future we will post more information
on the origins of eHistory and the people who made it possible.
eHistory Apps
eHistory apps! We are developing mobile apps for phones and tablets, beginning with a reader for Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective. Visit our apps page for more information on our progress or to give us feedback on what you'd like to see.
