BBC News - World News America - Why everyone has to be a historian in the
digital age

*Historians have always had the arduous task of finding scraps of history
with which to tell us about the past, but today we are creating a vast
wealth of information. So how will historians in the digital age decide what
is important?*

We know very little, for example, about the Sinagua. A people who lived in
what is now Arizona, from the 8th to the 15th centuries.

Aside from their complex cliff dwellings they left behind few clues about
how they lived, which makes piecing together a clear picture of their
culture near impossible.
