Digital History Update: Site Modernization in Progress

Great news! Thanks to the overwhelming support from our user community and the commitment of the University of Houston, Digital History will continue to serve students and educators.

We are currently updating Digital History's technical infrastructure to modern database and programming standards. This essential work will ensure the site remains accessible, secure, and functional for years to come.

What to expect:

  1. The site may be intermittently unavailable as we complete the technical updates.
  2. We are working diligently to complete this transition as quickly as possible.
  3. All content, primary sources, and features you rely on will be preserved.

We appreciate your patience during this transition. Digital History has served the educational community for 25 years, and we're committed to continuing that mission.

Thank you for your continued support and for making Digital History an invaluable resource for teaching and learning American history.
