Presentation for the ZZF PhD colloquium of my current (new) book project which explores the history and genealogies of digital history, set within the broader context of the ways in which technology has shaped historical research practices and knowledge production since the late 19th century. The aim is to investigate the intellectual underpinnings of the field we now call digital history by attending to the longue durée of the human-machine encounter in historical research.

This presentation will discuss the WARLUX project, a crowdsourcing campaign aimed at collecting and preserving personal war letters and documents from Luxembourg during WWII. The presentation will cover the goals of the project, the participatory aspect of working with volunteers and participants, as well as the post-processing and implementation of the collected data. The presentation will also highlight the challenges and ethical considerations.

Do the historians gathered in the Tensions of Europe network have a particular relationship to archives, to sources, and to their research materials? What does being a historian of technologies, infrastructures, or networks imply, and is there a singularity regarding sources and archives? It is this relationship to the archives, to the sources, to the historical material at large, to the spatialities, and materialities as well, that this conference invites us to question.

Short introductiory presentation at a meeting of the Dutch Assocation for Information Professionals (KNVI) special interest group Education & Research which will discuss my article "Digital History and the Politics of Digitization".

Notre défi sera de mieux comprendre l'évolution historique qui, depuis les années 1950, a conduit à la désaffection progressive des femmes pour les études d'informatique. Cette tendance n'est pas sans conséquence sur les usages, les pratiques, les produits et applications numériques. Elle est manifeste dans les représentations, les métiers, les programmes ou encore les algorithmes. Qu’est-il arrivé aux « Computer Girls » enthousiastes des origines ?

L’animal est au cœur d’interrogations politiques, sociales, écologiques et ontologiques qui éclairent le passé de manière profondément contemporaine. Si une « question animale » a bien émergé à l’âge classique et aux Lumières, inspirant de nombreux travaux, traités et autres publications, les recherches académiques des dernières décennies ont cependant connu une évolution fondamentale dans le champ historique.

Am 28. Juni 1919 hatten die Siegermächte und die deutschen Bevollmächtigten im Spiegelsaal des Schlosses von Versailles den Friedensvertrag unterzeichnet. Das Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges wurde damit besiegelt und am 10. Januar 1920 trat der Versailler Vertrag in Kraft. Damit wurde Belgien um 1.050 km² größer, auch wenn die belgischen Ansprüche weitaus weiter – bis ins Rheinland – reichten. Weniger bekannt ist, dass das Militärlager Elsenborn bei diesen Verhandlungen eine nicht unwesentliche Rolle spielte.

The Minett is a region in southern Luxembourg that has been strongly influenced by its industrial past: by the mining of "minette" iron ore and by iron and steel production. Our virtual exhibition, Minett Stories, investigates the multiple – and sometimes contested – histories and identities of the region, as well as those of the people who lived and worked there.

The Warlux project aims to reconstruct life stories during the Second World War, both at the front and among the relatives of forced recruits in Luxembourg. The research project will come to an end this summer. Yet science is actually only scratching the surface.
