Hans THUNA (1895-?), Else HERZOG (1891-1944), Erich THUNA (1924-2012), Erika THUNA (1924-2013)

Originally from Vienna, Austria, the Thuna family escaped to Luxembourg following the Anschluss of Austria to the German Reich in 1938. During their two-year stay in Luxembourg, they were supported by the Jewish ESRA Committee and resided in the Hotel Select. Despite efforts to obtain entry visas for countries in South America, they remained in Luxembourg until the invasion of German troops in May 1940, from where they embarked on a disrupted transport to Lisbon in November 1940, which eventually took them to France. In 1942, Hans Thuna was deported to Auschwitz via Drancy.

The “technical time” of the Luxembourgish telephone system: about the transformative power of maintenance

The “technical time” of the Luxembourgish telephone system: about the transformative power of maintenance

Luxembourg’s telephone system struggled with a lack of capacity for subscriber lines and connections from its very early days in the 1880s. Drawing on a broad notion of maintenance, the chapter argues that for about 110 years, the postal administration tried to fix the capacity of the telephone network by introducing various new switching technologies.

Conclusion: A Highly transformative age for web archives

Conclusion: A Highly transformative age for web archives

It examines emergency response practices and research trends. The chapter also addresses current and forthcoming challenges such as adapting to platformization, AI, the closure of APIs, and evolving legal frameworks.

Spatio-Temporal Reasoning on Stratigraphic Data in Archaeology: Formalization of the Harris Laws as Inferences Using CIDOC CRM

Spatio-Temporal Reasoning on Stratigraphic Data in Archaeology: Formalization of the Harris Laws as Inferences Using CIDOC CRM

Excavation documentation aims at recording the materiality of the archaeological site uncovered and partially destroyed by the excavation process, with an emphasis on spatial information. The knowledge about the past is built on the recording of physical materiality and its spatiality. In archaeological knowledge production, temporal

The European Union at a crossroads

The European Union at a crossroads

In a difficult socio-economic context and a geopolitical environment marked by uncertainty, the European elections - scheduled from 6 to 9 June 2024 in the 27 EU Member States - represent a crucial moment with many issues at stake for democracy, solidarity and cohesion on our continent. To face up to these unprecedented societal and transnational challenges, Europe must not only revive the lessons of history to empower countries, regions and communities, but above all encourage the participation and commitment of citizens, among whom the younger generations occupy a place of choice.

Étude comparée de l’organisation des services postaux dans le sillon de Sambre et Meuse en 1789 et 1801. Approche géographique et historique de deux documents cartographiques

Étude comparée de l’organisation des services postaux dans le sillon de Sambre et Meuse en 1789 et 1801. Approche géographique et historique de deux documents cartographiques

La période d’occupation française des territoires qui composent l’actuelle Belgique est souvent associée à un bref intermède entre le régime autrichien et le régime hollandais, débouchant sur l’Indépendance belge de 1830. Pourtant, durant la courte période allant de 1795 à 1815 s’est déroulé le plus grand et le plus radical chamboulement de l’histoire de ces régions. Chamboulement culturel, économique, et, non des moindres, administratif. À ce niveau, le nouveau découpage du territoire est sans doute l’élément le plus flagrant.

Minett-Stories: A Transmedia Project on a Steel Production Region in Luxembourg

Minett-Stories: A Transmedia Project on a Steel Production Region in Luxembourg

The online exhibition “Minett Stories” (https://minett-stories.lu) tells the history of the Minett, the industrial region in the south of Luxembourg. Instead of telling the history of mining and smelting technologies, large iron works and steel barons, the project team decided to present the everyday history of an industrial region, focusing on the time span from the industrialization of the region in around 1870 to the steel crisis of the 1970s.

Unusual Repair Practices of Telephone Technicians in Luxembourg

Unusual Repair Practices of Telephone Technicians in Luxembourg

The standardization of repair work has often been discussed by manufacturers and large infrastructure companies to reduce repair costs but also to control and discipline repair workers. However, in cases like Ford and Volkswagen these efforts failed or did not meet the manufacturers’ or customers’ expectations (McIntyre 2000; Krebs 2014). This paper will zoom in on the people who repaired the telephone system in Luxembourg.

Le temps des plateformes : enjeux, différences et complémentarité de l’archivage des médias sociaux numériques à la Bibliothèque nationale de France et à l’Institut national de l’audiovisuel

Le temps des plateformes : enjeux, différences et complémentarité de l’archivage des médias sociaux numériques à la Bibliothèque nationale de France et à l’Institut national de l’audiovisuel

Inégalement préservés, les RSN entrent dans les enjeux d’archivage du web de manière plus ou moins précoce. La Bibliothèque nationale de France [BnF] a archivé Dailymotion entre 2007 et 2013, Twitter depuis 2012 et YouTube à partir de 2017. L’Institut national de l’audiovisuel [Ina] archive YouTube et Vimeo depuis 2009-2010 et Twitter depuis 2014. Si toutes les plateformes ne bénéficient pas encore d’une activité de captures régulières, de nouveaux projets de collecte améliorent la couverture. Ainsi la BnF gère des collectes Instagram depuis 2020 et TikTok depuis 2022.
