Database design, development, and maintenance for historical analysis
Digital History Consulting makes the iterative process of database design transparent and helps historians reflect on their research questions, desired digital products, and the database and data they require. Committing to this process as a fundamental of digital research and communicating this process to the academic community increases the credibility and sustainability of research results. At the same time, clear definitions of database fields and instructions for data entry ensure data consistency across research teams. Digital History Consulting provides these services in addition to database administration and maintenance services.

Whether consulting on project design and planning or becoming a member of the team, Digital History Consulting facilitates project management and transforms research collaboration with other historians, other disciplines, and IT departments.
