This presentation aimed at reflecting on the history of vernacular digital cultures and their historical approach through web archives. It relied on the experience of the Hivi project (A history of Online Virality) and notably the historical study of memes we conducted.

Media Monitoring of the Past is an interdisciplinary research project in which a team of computational linguists, designers and historians collaborate on the datafication of a multilingual corpus of historical media. The primary goals of the project are to improve text mining tools for historical text, to enrich historical documents with (semi-) automatically generated data and to integrate such data into historical research workflows by means of newly developed user interfaces.

La mise à disposition pour la recherche de données issues du Web archivé correspond à une tendance engagée au sein des institutions patrimoniales depuis les années 2010.
