The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th 2022 has triggered a worldwide wave of support and expressions of solidarity, also among C²DH staff. This report gives an overview of their past activities together with a preliminary review and recommendations for the year 2023. This does not cover private support activities undertaken by C²DH members. This report consists of three parts: First, a brief summary of the response of Luxembourgish research institutions, published already in June 2022. Second, a chronology of activities by C²DH staff since March 2022.

In this article, we introduce software under development by the Digital History Advanced Research Projects Accelerator (DHARPA), an interdisciplinary team of researchers and developers working to enable best practices in the humanities through technology. We argue that the strength and appeal of historical inquiry lies largely in the relationship between scholars and their sources, a connection in which the former engage with the latter

Les tertres d’orpaillage de l’actuel territoire belge ont été identifiés comme tels vers 1876 par J. Jung. Depuis, la connaissance de ces structures n’a que peu évolué, aucun tertre n’ayant été fouillé suivant une méthodologie permettant de les dater sans équivoque. De nombreuses descriptions des formes, tailles et contenus ont été réalisées ainsi que des propositions d’attributions chronologiques reposant sur des hypothèses logiques plutôt que sur des faits empiriques (à la place d’empiriques, écrire scientifiquement démontrés ?) Seul J-M.

The "Minett" region in southern Luxembourg was the industrial heartland of the country. The mines and blast furnaces, most of which have now disappeared, once dominated the landscape. Luciano Pagliarini's collection of interviews constitutes a unique corpus of audio testimonies that allow us to discover the local history and the daily experiences of the inhabitants of that time.

Dieser fiktive Tagebucheintrag und die dazugehörige Collage erzählen die Geschichte eines Mädchens, das im Jahr 1928 die Haushaltungsschule in Differdingen anfing. Ihre Erlebnisse führen in wichtige Themen der Escher Frauenbewegung der 1920er Jahre ein, wie zum Beispiel Kindersterblichkeit, Hausfrauenarbeit und Frauenbildung.

Between 1959 and 1961, the national newspaper Luxemburger Wort published a photo series dedicated to the Minett. These so-called “Biller aus dem Minett” (Images from the Minett) were intended to serve as a platform for amateur photographers, allowing them to show everyday aspects of life in Luxembourg’s industrial region. Today, the approximately 150 “Biller” are a collection of historical interest, which provides a unique view on Luxembourg’s industrial region shortly before the economic downfall.

In April 2022, scholars from a variety of different disciplines and training met in Berlin for a workshop on historical networks organized by ModelSEN. This workshop brought together scholars, who have a joint interest in approaches drawn from multi-layer net- work analysis to investigate historical processes that involve layers of different kinds and include both social and epistemic components. This paper summarizes the outcomes and is intended to serve as a starting point for further discussions and the strengthening of a community in Historical Network Research.

The aim of this guide is to provide a starting point for using web archives as a source for social science research. With the migration of many aspects of the so- cial world online, fundamental questions have been raised about how and even when social science research happens in the online sphere (Karpf, 2012). Web archives, or archives of content and communications from the Web through time, crucially provide the means for retrospectively studying dynamic media and online interactions that are often subject to change and deletion.

Gemeinsam mit der Industrialisierung des Minetts in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts entstand auch eine Konsumgesellschaft. Diese interaktive Mini-Doku gibt einen Einblick in die Geschichte dieser Konsumgesellschaft von der Industrialisierung bis heute. Sie berichtet von Modernisierungsschüben und Stagnation, sowie über Versuche von Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten mehr Einfluss zu gewinnen sowie über die Bedeutung der Migration für die Entwicklung der Konsum- und Warenwelt.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, historians – along with archivists and other stakeholders – began to initiate digital memory banks, inviting members of the public to upload personal stories, pictures, videos, or other material connected to the pandemic and its impact on everyday life. This article describes how platforms from Western and Central Europe differ with regard to contributions by children and adolescents, taking the German coronarchiv.de and covidmemory.lu from Luxembourg as the main case studies.

A very short introduction to migration of Lithuanians to Luxembourg in 1890-1940.

Created for the Library of Congress, Newspaper Navigator re-imagines how we search the rich visual content in historic newspapers. The first phase of the project utilized machine learning techniques to extract visual content from 16.3 million digitized newspaper pages in Chronicling America. 1 This resulted in the Newspaper Navigator dataset, released in May 2020. The dataset and finetuned machine learning model 2 are in the public domain. A paper on the dataset was presented at the 2020 ACM Conference on Information Knowledge & Management (CIKM).
