Data

The "Personenstandsaufnahme" of 10 October 1941, a census conducted by the German occupier in Luxembourg with additional questions on nationality, mother tongue and ethnicity, is one of the best-known historical events in Luxembourg's contemporary history. Together with the strike against forced recruitment in August/September 1942, it remains an integral part of the culture of remembrance and historiography to this day.

The C²DH is delighted to share with you its 2023 Annual Report, which looks back on a memorable year of pioneering research in digital and public history.

A review of the C²DH's activities in 2022 - in digital format.

Cette présentation aborde les potentialités mais aussi limites des archives du Web liées à la viralité (hashtags, mèmes, etc.) pour aborder les communautés politiques et leurs affects et émotions.

This paper provides an insight into the ongoing interdisciplinary research aimed at designing a best practice digital workflow for the collection, research, and archiving of audio testimonies related to the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine. As the first and largest international documentation project of testimonies on this war, it serves as a continuous guide for similar smaller documentation initiatives. The documentation project, known as ’24.02.2022, 5am.

Cet atelier souhaite contribuer à penser l’éducation au numérique pour toutes et tous, et notamment en s’affranchissant des contraintes techniques ou en dépassant les stéréotypes de genre. L’atelier mêlera des éclairages théoriques et des exercices pratiques. Il proposera notamment de revenir sur l’histoire des femmes dans l’informatique des années 1950 à aujourd’hui. Il offrira également des pistes à explorer et des activités pour la mise en pratique d’une éducation au numérique inclusive dans les classes (de l’école au lycée).

This session aims to create a space for open discussion and networking for early career scholars (PhD students and postdoctoral researchers). Organised by three advanced scholars with strong expertise in web archives, this 90-minute session will focus first on the role and place of web archives in research, including how case studies, close and distant reading, and different tools and methods may be used, refined, and presented in research.

The paper focuses on building and sharing documentation about the use of generative AI in DH workflows.

The aim of the study is to address the question of using generative AI in creative writing assignments starting from the hypothesis that preliminary simulations of AI-based pedagogic scenarios can help instructors to better understand the inner mechanisms of these technologies and their possible impact on the learning, assignment completion and evaluation processes. The paper presents a set of experiments with simulated student-agent interactions generated by AI chatbots and proposes a formal framework for assessing this form of “imitation game” and its possible applications in real teaching-learning environments.

This article addresses the question of evaluating generative AI prompts designed for specific tasks such as linguistic linked open data modelling and refining of word embedding results.

This article proposes a linguistic linked open data model for diachronic analysis (LLODIA) that combines data derived from diachronic analysis of multilingual corpora with dictionary-based evidence.

Museen, Archive und historische Wissenschaften haben sich innerhalb eines sich wandelnden technologisch-epistemologischen Kontextes schrittweise an partizipatorische Formen des Sammelns, der Forschung und der Erarbeitung historischen Wissens angenähert. Dieser Prozess war begleitet von der Ausweitung historischer Quellenarten und Forschungsfragen, von der stärkeren Gewichtung des Erinnerns und der interpretativen Leistung historischer Akteure sowie von einer Vielzahl neuer medialer Formen, die das Zeigen, Schreiben und Erzählen von Geschichte veränderten.

This article proposes a small-scale investigation on the use of generative AI agents for post-OCR correction in historical datasets.

In 1948, on assignment for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), David Seymour completed a three-month mission that took him to his home country of Poland as well as to Greece, Italy, Austria, and Hungary, where he visited cities and villages ravaged by war.

Historical research and the production of historical narratives relies on archives. With thedigital turn, both the notion and the function of archive have changed. The practices ofselection, curation, and interpretation of archival sources have been deeply affected by newscientific virtues such as accessibility, sharing, and participation. Web 2.0 technologies and the Internet gave rise to a new type of archive resulting from real time “capture culture” and “event crawls”.
