The training workshop at the ‘Institut de formation de l'Éducation nationale’, entitled ‘Teaching about Europe: digital resources and tools’, was aimed at teachers in Luxembourg. The workshop particularly focused on the potential of the ‘MyPublications’ tool, available in the Digital Toolbox on cvce.eu. This tool enables teachers to reuse, customise and share the wide range of archive resources and explanatory articles available in the various collections on cvce.eu so that they can use them in a classroom setting by creating their own sequences of documents.

This article, focusing on France, explores the notion of a “Web of professionals” and seeks to establish its factual, epistemological, and methodological implications for the history of the World Wide Web in the 1990s. This research reflects on the promises of the New Economy and the roles of the various controversies, cultures, imaginaries, and forms of mediation affecting the business world in its appropriation of the Web.

The material, practical, theoretical elements of Web archiving as an ensemble of practices and a terrain of inquiry are inextricably entwined. Thus, its processes and infrastructures – often discreet and invisible – are increasingly relevant. Approaches inspired by Science and Technology Studies (STS) can contribute to shed light on the shaping of Web archives.

Emerging technologies and shared standards have opened up new avenues for the curation and presentation of data in archives and published research. Among their many benefits, these developments have made collections across archives more accessible, and have vastly improved the visual experience for users. This paper focuses on the next step in applying technical development and standards to digital collections: improving discoverability and providing a visual product that is simultaneously informative and experiential.
