The online exhibition WW2.lu explores Luxembourg's experiences during World War II using recent historiography and digital resources.

On 1 May 2004, with the accession of 10 candidate countries (Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), the European Union (EU) not only marked the biggest enlargement in its history, but also opened up for the first time to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which had embarked on the transition to freedom, democracy and a market economy after long decades of communist and dictatorial regimes. On 26 April 2005, Bulgaria and Romania have also been included in this process.

This paper proposes a lens of analysis for studying how public urban park creation, often presented as inherently beneficial for the public by planners, government officials, and stakeholders, served to enforce prevailing social and political norms by excluding unwanted visitors and fostering specific codes of conduct. The two case studies of post-war park development in Richmond, Virginia, U.S., and Hamburg, DE, exemplify the social and political effects of restoration ideas and ideals on beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the introduction of marketing within the advertising function of the Philips company between the late 1950s and the mid 1970s. This company function, along with the organizational changes and integrative efforts it enacted and that it was subjected to, serve as a case study on how marketing as an organizational concept could be implemented within parts of a multinational company in a time of changing market conditions.

In 2003, UNESCO formally acknowledged born-digital heritage, setting a milestone for its preservation at an international scale. However, the landscape of born-digital archiving is fragmented, involving diverse practices, perimeters, collections, and stakeholders (Schafer et al., 2016) operating at several levels from an international one with Internet Archive to more targeted initiatives by researchers and the civil society, through national GLAMs.

Viz your PhD in History! is a collaboration between PhD students at the end of their doctoral research journeys. Aida Horaniet Ibañez, a researcher in data visualization for digital history, works with three researchers from the discipline of history: Daniel Richter – analyzing the evolution of peripheral labor streets in Esch-sur-Alzette between the 1890s and 1935, Suzana Lopes Ferreira Cascao – researching the bourgeoisie in Esch-sur-Alzette between 1840s and 1920s, and Irene Portas Vazquez – researching clandestine pathways in the French-Luxembourgish border

This paper builds upon my recent article Digital History and the Politics of Digitisation and addresses the question of how European minority heritage fares in the digital age by taking the transnational case of Yiddish as an example.

Port City Territories in Action: A collaborative Laboratory for Inclusive Energy Transition (PACT) was officially launched on October 24th, 2024, as a new COST Action, supported and funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST). Management committee members from fifteen European countries joined three COST facilitators to lay the groundwork for the coming four years of researching and networking. PACT’s goal is to think through the future implementation of a sustainable energy transition within port city territories.

The proliferation of digital tools, methods, and sources available to historians over the last few decades has jeopardized our shared understanding of the provenance and traceability of historical research. The rise of generative AI poses still further risks, not just in the fear of faked sources, but also in the naïve misuse of LLM-based co-pilots in the hands of researchers seeking assistance with datafication and analysis.

In the field of European integration history and Europeanisation, the master narrative was built for a long time on the “founding fathers” syntagma, overlooking the role of women.

Avoir « le plaisir de rouler en musique » en utilisant un autoradio est encore peu courant en France lorsque Philips lance ce slogan publicitaire en 1958. La plupart des Français n’ont même pas encore « le plaisir de rouler », car seul un faible pourcentage de ménages possède une voiture. Mais au cours des deux décennies suivantes, cette situation change de manière significative tandis que le taux de possession d’autoradios augmente également. Cette présentation vise à examiner l’introduction de l’autoradio dans la société française

This programma?c paper departs from the premise that new technologies, whether analog, digital, or both, have long been applied to the various steps that make up the historical research process. It argues that the ques?on of how to frame a history of digital history can thus not be reduced to the ques?on of when digital electronic compu?ng entered historical research, an oGen implicitly assumed star?ng point.

This chapter analyses the historical development of Luxembourg's economy from a comparative perspective (with other EU Member States) and from a geopolitical outlook (with regard to the world's smaller States), and then highlights its strengths and weaknesses in the dual context of globalisation and polycrisis. The conclusions take a forward-looking approach at the main challenges facing Luxembourg's economy.
