I am doing research for a book about how the Internet can be used as a tool to teach about history and to conduct history projects. Currently, I am looking for existent research on the Internet usage patterns of those interested in history -- professors, students, amateur historians, museum enthusiasts, and genealogists. Does anyone know of any studies, research projects, articles, websites, books, etc. that might be relevant? Leads to any general research about Internet usage by professors and other academics would also be very helpful.

You might be interested in my book on cyberscience. It includes an extensive comparison of the status quo of ICT use in 13 disciplines, among them history. Btw, in this comparison, North-American History turned out to be the most "cyber" of all. Here is the quote: Nentwich, M.
