Roy Rosenzweig
I never had the pleasure of meeting historian Roy Rosenzweig but I am fortunate enough to have read his books and listened to his words.
He passed away at the age of 57.
His colleague, T. Mills Kelly:
He was, and will always remain, an inspiration for historians.

Remembering Roy Rosenzweig:
Roy invented Digital History as a field of serious scholarly endeavor. Before Roy got involved I’m sure there were others who were playing around with what digital media might mean to our professional practice. But it was Roy who made Digital History into a professional field. For that alone, the profession and many subsequent generations of history students will be forever indebted to this great man.
He was, and will always remain, an inspiration for historians.
