Today’s in-class discussion about the readings based on Black Digital Humanities made me think a lot about history as it happens online. Increasingly, what is said and shared on the internet is as important as what happens in the physical world. Many of us take for granted that everything online will be recorded and exist forever, this may be true on some levels, but as our guest speaker said, digital is not a perfect method of storage. Things online get deleted as websites become obsolete and shut down, and the only people who have access to old pieces of digital content are those who controlled those sites. This makes me wonder, how can digital history be saved and archived with accuracy and honesty? This is an important question, especially since it can be so easy to fabricate online posts, especially after the fact. And in regard to areas like Black studies, there is even more at stake with risks of fabrication or lost digital histories.
