After a long hiatus, our series “History— There’s an App for That” is back, just in time to showcase a broad range of new, useful apps for tech-hungry historians. While some of the apps relate to the study of history in general, most picks are intended to help the history professional in a wide variety of environments—in the classroom, in the archive, and out on the town.

What have we left out? Let us know in the comments what you like and use and I will add it to the list!
