This chapter discusses the various practical, epistemological and
methodological issues of importance when a historical scholar with
limited digital skills wants to take a step towards learning how to
conduct digital analyses. As a feminist historian, the author combines
this approach with a discussion of the relation of feminist research and
digital humanities. In line with practice in feminist research, she
uses a self-reflexive approach and asks how the increase in the
understanding of digital methods influences research questions in
feminist history. Do digital humanities tools transform the work as
feminist historians? How can digital analyses develop the field of
gender history in general and the history of feminism in particular? Can
a scholar who has limited technological skills engage with an informed
and critical discussion with digitised materials? In doing this the
chapter provides an inside reflective history of the making of digital
history.
