Public HistorianHistory Can Be Open Source: Democratic Dreams and the Rise of Digital History by
In an ongoing commitment to experimentation, the AHR invited an "open peer review" of a submitted manuscript, "History Can Be Open Source: Democratic Dreams and the Rise of Digital History," by Joseph L. Locke (University of Houston–Victoria) and Ben Wright (University of Texas at Dallas). Given that Locke and Wright argued for the coexistence of transparency alongside formal academic peer review, subjecting their submission to an open review made sense. The peer review process itself tested the propositions about the democratization of scholarship they put forth in their submission. Their article appears in a new section of the AHR , "Writing History in a Digital Age," overseen by consulting editor Lara Putnam (https://ahropenreview.com/). The maturation of digital history has propelled historians' embrace of open educational resources. But, this article argues, open access licensing is not enough. Digital history's earliest practitioners promised not just more accessible digital materials, but a broader democratization of history itself. This article therefore moves beyond questions of technological innovation and digital access in the rise of digital history to engage more fundamental and intractable questions about inequality, community, and participatory historical inquiry.

Metahistory as Public History: On Introducing Metahistorical Perspectives in Events about Events by
This article argues that the introduction of 'metahistorical perspectives' can greatly enrich the practice of public history. Through the example of a series of public events about important historical events held at the National Library of Norway, it is argued that an attention to microhistory, pedagogical theory and especially William Sewell Jr.'s theory of events can be beneficial when programming events for the general public. This focus on 'metahistorical perspectives' in the practice of public history stands in contrast to widely held notions of public history as entailing simplifications and 'dumbing down' of academic knowledge.

Preserving the Past with Immersive Technologies: Digital technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and holograms allow museums and other institutions to preserve historical events and tell stories in an engaging way by
The article explores how virtual reality, augmented reality, and holograms can impact and improve exhibitions for museums and other institutions. Particular focus is given to how this technology can preserve historical events and promote engaging storytelling like the "Tower of Faces" at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Various apps and interactive museum experiences developed for institutions like the Museum of National History and the Kennedy Space Center are also discussed.
