ABSTRACT
The Journal demonstrates how hypertext and multimedia technologies could transform research, documentation, and publication of historical scholarship. As the first peer-reviewed electronic journal to present, evaluate, and disseminate multimedia historical scholarship, the Journal for MultiMedia History (JMMH) also sought to help establish the standards of academic electronic multimedia publishing, matching those found in leading print historical journals such as the American Historical Review or the Journal of Modern History. Throughout academe and within the historical profession, considerable attention has been directed to the ways in which digital scholarship should be evaluated and rewarded. The American Historical Association (AHA) recently ran a series of essays on the topic in its monthly newsletter, Perspectives. Corinne Blake's "Teaching Islamic Civilization with Information Technology" is an extensively hyperlinked article that offers a comprehensive review of Web-based resources for students and scholars of Islam and Islamic Civilization.
