Digitale Geschichte und Historiographie

In Munich, from 19 to 21 September 2018, a group of speech technologists, social scientists, linguists, computer scientists, oral historians and information scientists convened to explore the integration of digital tools in the workflow of scholars who work with interviews.

Le C²DH, l'Université Rennes 2 et l'Association des Archivistes français organisent le 14 novembre aux Archives Nationales (France, site de Pierrefitte-sur-Seine) une journée d'étude autour du livre en ligne, Le goût de l'archive à l'ère numérique.

Hartmut Kaelble is Emeritus Professor at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

The article (short version) presents a workflow for combining oral history and language technology, and for evaluating this combination.

Ranke.2 is a teaching platform that offers lessons on how to critically assess and work with digital historical sources.

Le C²DH sera présent à la 21e édition des Rendez-vous de l'histoire qui se déroulera à Blois du 10 au 14 octobre 2018 et aura pour thème: «la puissance des images».

The aim of the “Contemporary history in the digital era – sources, methodologies and criticism” day (Lausanne, 4 July 2018), the result of a partnership between the Universities of Lausanne and Luxembourg, the infoclio.ch website and the International Association of Contemporary History of Europe (IACHE), was to encourage collective reflection on the role of technological innovation in historical research, especially its influence on the historian’s relationship with primary sources.

The goal of the session was to familiarise the participants with the textometric analysis and to encourage reflection on the application of this type of analysis to (oral) history research.

The Tensions of Europe conference is organised biennially by an interdisciplinary community of scholars who study the shaping of Europe through the lens of technology and material culture. The 9th edition of the conference will be organised by the C²DH around the theme ‘Decoding Europe: Technological Pasts in the Digital Age.
