This presentation focused on three oral interviews I conducted during the COVID crisis, respectively with the BnL (Bibliothèque nationale du Luxembourg, Els, 2020) in Luxembourg and with INA (Institut national de l’audiovisuel, Schafer, 2020b) and BnF (Bibliothèque nationale de France, Gebeil et al., 2020) in France, to document their web archiving practices and choices during the pandemic.

The COVID crisis has been a shared worldwide and collective experience from March 2020 and lot of voices have echoed each other, may it be related to grief, lockdown, masks and vaccines, homeschooling, etc. However, this unprecedented crisis has also deepened asymmetries and failures within societies, in terms of occupational fields, economic inequalities, health and sanitary access, and we could extend the inventory of these hidden and more visible gaps that were reinforced during the crisis.

A gap in the census surveys for England and Wales between 1921 and 1951 hinders the analysis of their labour structure for the interwar years. The present article uses a dataset containing occupational titles from the National Register – a census-like enumeration of 1939, recently digitised by the genealogy service ‘Find My Past’ – which was previously assigned numerical codes (the pst system).

This article of Denis Scuto presents the "Digital Memorial to the Shoah in Luxembourg", a joint project of the Fondation Luxembourgeoise pour la Mémoire de la Shoah and the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) of the University of Luxembourg: https://memorialshoah.lu/.

Le jeudi 13 octobre 2022 de 17.00 à 18.30, une table ronde co-organisée par la BnL et le C²DH réunissait Natascha Bintz, Luca de Michele, Anne Faber et Ben Olinger sur le thème «Les Influenceurs. Une plongée dans les pratiques et cultures numériques». Nous avons abordé avec eux leur parcours, leur ligne éditoriale, leur lien avec leur audience, mais aussi les enjeux culturels, économiques, professionnels, genrés ou encore technologiques de leur activité.

Roundtable related to interdisciplinary and international collaborations

"Am Campus Belval sollen die Forschenden aus der Ukraine durch das LURN (Luxembourg Ukrainian Researcher Network) ein interdisziplinäres Netzwerk aufbauen, also Forschende außerhalb ihres Fachgebiets kennenlernen. Zusätzlich sollen sie Berührungspunkte mit der luxemburgischen Forschungslandschaft bekommen."

Professeur des Universités en histoire des relations internationals contemporaines à l’Université Paul Verlaine de Metz puis à Sciences Po Strasbourg, Sylvain Schirmann a marqué, par son enseignement, des générations d’étudiants : ceux, bien sûr, de la faculté d’histoire de Metz, de l’Institut des hautes études européennes et de l’Institut d’études politiques de Strasbourg, mais aussi ceux de l’École nationale d’administration ou de l’Université du Luxembourg, ainsi que les élèves des deux campus – de Bruges et de Natolin – du Collège d’Europe.

Letters as a study of the history of personal stories/fates. The Warlux project aims to collect the personal war experiences of men and women who were conscripted into labour and/or military service by the Nazi occupation administration during the Second World War in Luxembourg. In order to present the individual perspective and the personal impact of the war at the front, in the labour camps and at home, we have collected over 5000 letters and diaries from the families concerned via an appeal for donations in 2021. The letters all need to be organised, structured and read.
