In this episode, Grace talks to Dr Jim Ambuske, digital historian in residence at the Washington Library in Mount Vernon, Virginia, about his extensive work in digital legal history.
Legal history is a daunting topic for many scholars, especially if they lack formal training in the law. But legal treatises, court records, and other remnants of historical legal systems can offer a broad and deep well of source material to the enterprising researcher. A constellation of digital humanities projects – the Quill Project among them – are attempting to make these sources more easily accessible, and to help historians explore the full range of insights that these records can offer. In this episode, Grace talks to Dr Jim Ambuske, digital historian in residence at the Washington Library in Mount Vernon, Virginia, about his extensive work in digital legal history.
