Abstract
Historians today must carry hefty toolkits. In addition to the traditional demands of the discipline—critical thinking, analytical acumen, the ability to locate and make sense of evidence, storytelling talent—we have been gradually adding items to our job descriptions. Emerging historians are expected to be able to build a website, develop an app, raise money, engage with various publics, make a map, court the press, and manage and curate multiauthoredhistory projects, often simultaneously.
