Public historians are not done with the Internet as a new field for history. The potential of digital
media for public history is not fully realized. Actually, in the future, more historians from university
could take on this digital history. Online media are very useful tools to share historical content and
reach new audiences. A future digital public history could be a public history made by more
historians and academics. Because even if it’s great that everyone can share historical content, this
leads to a gulf between sources and historical interpretation or people telling historical errors that
are mistaken for true. Academics and people passionate for history could also enter into dialogue in
order to make a quality historical content online, each one bringing his capacities into the work.
