Data

In the late 1980s and early 1990s an era of “new media” opened, full of the promises of multimedia, while databases emerged as the new “symbolic form” (Manovich, 2002), and interactivity turned into a buzzword. Our proposal revisits this history through one “transmedia” and “boundary” object: CD-ROMS in Print books. These catalogs of more than a thousand pages aimed to list, classify, and describe all available CD-ROMs of the time.

This presentation aims to explore key issues of web archives and social media analysis, drawing on findings and experience from the collective HIVI project (A History of Online Virality, hivi.uni.lu), which concluded in 2024. The focus is on the challenges, opportunities and limits that arise when using born- digital sources to trace the evolution of “Internet phenomena” over time. The presentation will first examine questions related to Sources and Corpora – specifically, the challenges of preservation and of

This editorial analyses the challenges and time costs associated with ensuring reproducibility of the Journal of Digital History’s articles. We examine the journal’s complex workflow, which includes technical and design reviews, peer review, and infrastructure development. Using data from 16 published articles, we identify key bottlenecks in the publication process, particularly in technical review stages and peer reviewer recruitment.

Les débats et publications autour des archives du Web concernent de nombreuses disciplines – littérature, art, histoire, information et communication – mais également plusieurs corps de métiers – recherche, bibliothèques, archives, et de manière générale toutes les professions liées à la conservation. Cette richesse et cette communauté d’intérêts montrent à quel point les archives du Web constituent un objet transversal qui suscite des questions qui ne sont pas limitées à des disciplines ou champs professionnels.

The digital age is forcing archives and historical science to abandon their established division of labour. The issue of shaping the documentary tradition and ensuring its reliability brings archivists and historians together. This contribution discusses some recent initiatives in this area and argues for greater cooperation through practical initiatives.

This paper aims to explore how an entry through the perspective of women and gender has revitalized and still revitalizes the history of computing, STEM, and digital technologies and to what extent this approach also aligns with current IT challenges as well as educational issues. It revisits key themes such as invisibility, intersectionality, embodiment, and inclusiveness, by drawing on significant works from recent decades.

Il combine des caractéristiques telles que les dimensions internationales, trans-plateformes, transculturelle et translinguistique des phénomènes viraux, ainsi qu’un caractère à la fois démesuré et éphémère.

In the presentation were compared two metadata sets collected within two research projects in the different years and for different purposes of the University of Saar, Germany (MultiLing) and C2DH, Luxembourg (U-CORE). Both sets contain data to the project participants with Ukrainian language knowledge. The aim of the presented analysis was to compare the available and comparable data and see, how the foreign language knowledge of the project participants impacted their migration behaviour before the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine in 2022 and after that.

How are borders and time related? Are borders shifting state lines enshrined in history, the landscape, and cultural heritage? Are borders places where new understandings of time and space can be formed? Are temporalities of borders the material appearance, transformation, and disappearance of borders or the social practices which leave us with traces of times, tidelines, phantom, or ghost borders? Have we paid enough attention to the experiences of people from different ages passing borders?
