Digitale Geschichte und Historiographie

Online lecture by Sarah Kenderdine, Professor of Digital Museology at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne.

Organised in the framework of the OPERAS-P project, the online workshop was held on 7 and 8 September 2020 with the aim of combining theoretical and practical perspectives on issues that are constantly developing as a result of the wide-ranging forms and aims of research infrastructures and the challenges facing digital governance.

Ostbelgien 1920-2020 ist eine virtuelle Ausstellung über die Geschichte der Region Eupen-Malmedy-Sankt Vith seit dem Staatenwechsel von 1920.

A hands-on demonstration of the Kinora Viewer Replica. This public online event shows the fruits of a recent successful collaboration between the C²DH and the Department of Engineering. Combining historical inquiry with a hands-on and technical approach - involving the latest 3D modelling and desktop manufacturing engineering techniques - a media historian and two engineers joined forces to produce a working replica of a very special object in the history of (early) cinema: the Kinora viewer.

This online workshop organized by the OPERAS (a European research infrastructure for the development of open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities) community aims at revisiting digital knowledge infrastructures from an organisational and governance perspective, through their history, their stakes and achievements, as well as their challenges and obstacles.

On 17-18 December 2019, the first workshop of the DEMA project - Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice & Theory - project took place at the C²DH. For this workshop, specialists from the fields of media history, art history and the history of science were invited to share best practices and experiences in documenting hands-on and experimental research.

During the summer semester we co-taught a course called The Recurated Museum, which explored the evolving role of museums in digital spaces. After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic mid-semester and the subsequent explosion of movements like #MuseumAtHome and #CultureChezNous, we directly confronted many of the ideas we featured in class in a way that we could not have previously imagined.

4th RESAW remote conference, hosted by the C²DH.

This workshop centred on digital methods for working with oral history and provided a survey of emerging practices for better discoverability within and across oral history collections. It facilitated sharing of approaches for oral history work at multiple stages, for collections published for posterity and for ongoing research projects.
