Biografisk notat
The Editor: Niels Brügger is Associate Professor at The Centre for Internet Research, Aarhus University, Denmark. His primary research interest is website history, and in 2007 he started writing a history of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation’s website entitled The History of dr.dk, 1996-2006. He has published a number of articles, monographs, and edited books, including Archiving Websites: General Considerations and Strategies (2005) and Media History: Theories, Methods, Analysis (ed. with S. Kolstrup, 2002).«‘Web History’ sets out to do nothing less than historicize the web. Niels Brügger and his colleagues show us how to conceptualize web history, how institutions have shaped the web, how culture has shaped the web, and how to implement web research methods. ‘Web History’ is an unqualified success.» (David W. Park, Lake Forest College)<br /> «Historiography is reflective scholarship, and such scholarship is dearly needed to counter the glitter and ‘gee whiz’ mentality all too often associated with new media. <i>Web History</i> is a welcome contribution to such reflection, a collection bringing together some of the most astute new media scholars of our time.» (Nicholas W. Jankowski, Co-editor, ‘New Media & Society’)
