The NEW eHistory
Welcome to
the NEW eHistory! The
Department of History at The
Ohio State University is proud to be the new home of eHistory.
All of its wonderful historical resources are still on the site for
you to use, so please keep your links active.
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; the next step
was a complete redesign of the content. We appreciate your patience as
we work towards the full vision that is the new eHistory at The
Ohio State.
Will the old material still be available?
Absolutely. We will be using the best of the existing material and adding
to it, but the contents of the old site will still be available in an
archived form by clicking on the link "looking for the old site?" on
the main navigation bar.
Will you still have "memberships"?
Yes! Our apologies for the hiatus, but we are offering memberships again
(please click here to sign
up). We moved most of the old member accounts to the new database,
so please try your old account before signing
up for a new one. Membership will let you contibute content (like eReviews)
and post comments as part of the eHistory community.
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.

A History of eHistory?
