This Memory Studies Review special issue explores the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence (ai) and collective memory. In the one hand, the emergence of generative ai, exemplified by ChatGPT’s 2022 release, appears to herald a new infrastructure for collective memory. On the other, the memory studies work highlights the limits and the backlashes of this new form of memory in its social dimension. This leads to raise a provocative, open-ended question: Is artificial intelligence the future of collective memory?

En revenant sur des études de cas appuyées sur de vastes corpus d’archives du web et des réseaux socio-numériques, dédiés d’une part à la viralité en ligne et d’autre part à la crise de la COVID-19, il s’agira d’interroger la manière dont les archives du web, croisées à d’autres sources, peuvent permettre de reconstruire des cultures numériques et leur évolution ou/et d’informer des phénomènes contemporains. Nous présenterons les atouts et limites de la lecture proche et distante de tels corpus composites et parfois transnationaux.

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

Luxemburg wird am 10. Mai 1940 vom nationalsozialistischen Deutschland überfallen. In den folgenden zwei Jahren wird das Großherzogtum praktisch in NS-Deutschland integriert. Verwaltungstechnisch ist es nun Teil des Gaus Moselland. Die jungen luxemburgischen Bürger werden gezwungen, sich dem Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) anzuschließen.

During the Second World War, several thousand people from the Soviet Union and occupied Poland were brought to Luxembourg during its occupation by Nazi Germany. Once there, they were expected to satisfy the demand for labour in industries that were important to the war effort, as many of Luxembourg’s workers had been drafted into the German army and the need for steel production was higher than usual as a result of the war.

WW2.lu. Luxemb(o)urg in the Second World War is an online exhibition developed by the C²DH of the University of Luxembourg based on a 2021 convention with the Ministry of State. The aim of the exhibition is to present the history of Luxembourg during the Second World War, taking account of recent historical research. To this end, it relies on the advantages of the digital format. The exhibition makes it possible to approach the experiences of Luxembourgers from different perspectives by drawing on rich and often unknown documentation.

Women from all horizons played a crucial role in the post-war European project, including democratic transitions in Central and Eastern Europe and EU Eastern enlargement. However, their impact remained under-explored, even if recent shifts in historical practice have led to a reinsertion of women in a wide-range of disciplines. The objectives of 1). nurturing advancement of the research agenda on the role of

The presentation will offer a broad overview of the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) founded in 1983 and will explore its wide range of multilingual, multimedia sources and archives for both researchers and the general public, while also analysing the current interdisciplinary challenges, historiographical issues and innovative practices which it is facing in the digital age.

In the process towards European economic and monetary union, two reports played crucial roles. The 1970 Werner Report argued for both a supranational monetary pillar and a supranational economic pillar, while the 1989 Delors Report focused on the monetary pillar, and there was scepticism about discretionary fiscal policy.

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.

When futures are disconnected from the past due to disaster and disruption, how do we study and story educational histories and to what ends? The role of education as a motor of technological progress facilitating imagined human sovereignty seems to have lost its persuasive power in creating better futures for all. Therefore, this Special Issue asks historians of education to acknowledge non-Western and Indigenous knowledge paradigms, education systems, and perspectives that have sustained peaceful and healthy ecological systems for millennia.

In 2015, Francesca Musiani, Marguerite Borelli and I co-authored an article on the governance of web archives. Nearly a decade later, the landscape of web archiving has undergone significant transformations. The actors, values, infrastructures and methods have evolved, regarding for instance participation, inclusiveness, openness and stakeholder relationships.
