Mobility Grant: Preparing Kielipankki Corpus for EuReCo   Written by Harald Lüngen With my CLARIN mobility grant, I visited CSC, the Finnish IT Centre for Science in Espoo, Finland, which hosts the Finnish corpus archive Kielipankki that is part of FIN-CLARIN. My official stay according to the grant was from 29 August until 6 September 2024, but I got the opportunity by my employer to stay a bit longer at CSC, and I had planned the scope of my project for the extended stay. In my project, I wanted to prepare a subcorpus from the Kielipankki archives for the European Reference Corpus initiative EuReCo, and also to try and set up a KorAP instance for EuReCo at CSC. EuReCo is an initiative that aims to create (pairs of) comparable corpora by making existing corpora maintained …

WW2.lu. Luxemb(o)urg in the Second World War is an online exhibition developed by the C²DH of the University of Luxembourg based on a 2021 convention with the Ministry of State. The aim of the exhibition is to present the history of Luxembourg during the Second World War, taking account of recent historical research. To this end, it relies on the advantages of the digital format. The exhibition makes it possible to approach the experiences of Luxembourgers from different perspectives by drawing on rich and often unknown documentation. Between ‘Luxembourg’ and ‘Luxemburg’, the population faced the Germanisation efforts of the Nazi regime. The period of annexation shows a torn society whose first concern was to cope with everyday life in an exceptional situation. The online exhibition is int…

In this talk, Gerben Zaagsma will discuss the history and genealogies of digital history within the broader context of how new technologies have shaped historical research practices and knowledge production since the late nineteenth century. To do so, he will first explore the current historiography and origin myths of digital history while advocating for greater consideration of disciplinary differences in histories of the digital humanities. In the second part, he discusses how we might frame a history of digital history. If an imagined “collective” memory exists, the history of digital history started in the 1960s in the United States and Western Europe, involved mostly digital electronic computing employed to support quantitative approaches, and occurred within national silos. As he wi…

The lecture seeks to foster interdisciplinary discussions at the intersection of digital technology, contemporary artistic practices, and heritage imagery, exploring how these realms inspire new perspectives, creative expression, and critical inquiry, resonating with an audience curious about the evolving relationship between tradition and innovation. Drawing on two projects I have developed—CerCAST (Ceramics Route of Castelli) and LICA Routes (Locating Indonesian Cultural Archives)—the lecture demonstrates how crossing disciplinary boundaries can challenge and broaden current understandings of identity, heritage, and cultural narratives in an era shaped by digital hybridity.  Through cultural route visualization and artistic reinterpretation, these projects reveal how technology can uncov…

The full-scale Russian war shattered (and continues to have a tremendous impact) the everyday lives and professional practices of people in Ukraine.

The SNF (Swiss National Science Foundation) project ‘Horror – Game – Politics’ analysed a sample of 22 digital horror games in terms of their history of ideas. Project manager Eugen Pfister’s aim was to prove that digital games in general, and digital horror games in particular, frequently communicate discursive political statements. This happens both consciously, when developers intend to communicate a specific statement, and unconsciously in the form of myths as described by Roland Barthes. There has long been a consensus in research that a history of ideas and political history cannot be reconstructed solely on the basis of individual political texts. In democratic societies in particular, political communication takes place not only in parliaments and political essays, but also to a large extent in popular culture. Dott. Ric. Dr. phil. Eugen Pfister is historian and political scientist. In particular, he researches the history of ideas and political history in digital games. He is currently leading the SNF-Sinergia project, ‘Swiss History of Games, Play and Game Design 1968-2000,’ with a team of 20 colleagues at four Swiss universities. Previously, he led the SNSF project ‘Horror-Game-Politics’ at the Bern University of the Arts. He studied at the Universität Wien and the Université Paris IV – Sorbonne. He wrote his PhD in the history of political communication in co-tutelle at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main and the Università degli Studi di Trento. In 2015, he and 15 colleagues founded the Working Group for History and Digital Games (AKGWDS), which has since grown to over 300 members.   Tuesday, 19 November 2024 17.00 - 18.30 DH Lab, 1st floor Maison des Sciences humaines 11, Porte des Sciences, L-4365 Esch-sur-Alzette and online   19 November 2024 Public history Media history Conferences Published Hide image in content detail

Almost half of the respondents argued that they turn to Wikipedia to learn about history and acquire a historical understanding of the past. Wikipedia was ranked higher than other historical activities, such as “Historic site visit,” “Museum visit,” “Genealogy work,” “Social media,” “Podcast/radio program,” “History lecture,” and “History-related video game.” These findings combined with the appropriation of Wikipedia’s corpus by ChatGPT and Wikipedia’s partnership with the most central search engine in the digital world, Google, and other digital assistants, such as Siri and Alexa, make clear how crucial the role of Wikipedia in how the public learns about history …

This lecture first examines historical and contemporary patterns of human and non-human mobilizations that emerge when certain archival collections gain attention—earning archival value—from official institutions, professional archivists, critical scholars, and researchers. In this context, it is essential to consider the distinct intentions of both mainstream and alternative agents involved in these collections. Additionally, the varying motivations, methods, and means of visibly activating and utilizing these archives must be noted. As these dynamics unfold, questions arise concerning the limitations of accessibility, competition over full ownership and representation, and the ongoing debate between quantity and quality in archival practices. Building on my experience with Shubra’s Archive—Egypt’s first neighborhood-based community archive—the second part of the lecture expands on these questions and debates by integrating vernacular archival practices informed and performed by local residents and researchers. The main argument is that the presence of a place that ethnographically archives and engages with its space in the here and now opens up innovative situated ethical, logistical, and social endeavors. These endeavors not only interrogate the value-making processes of archival collections but also highlight the ruses and risks of aspiring toward exhaustive and accessible archives.

In July 1843, after years of negotiation and resistance, the State of Ohio cast the last Native American tribe from its borders. Though the Wyandot reserved their legal right to remain until 1844, theft and land speculation by white settlers made staying in their homes untenable. Nearly 700 tribal citizens walked 240 kilometers from the Grand Reserve in Upper Sandusky to Cincinnati, Ohio. There, they boarded steamboats bound for unknown, unfamiliar lands in Kansas, over 1,150 kilometers away. Ohio has forgotten about the Wyandot, as well as the larger story of their Removal and resistance. Wingo began a partnership with the the Cultural Division of the Wyandotte Nation in 2021 to reconstitute the Wyandot(te)’s legacy and repair Ohio’s historical amnesia. Their work consists of two (in-progress) community-based public history projects: the Wyandot Removal Trail and the Wyandot Heritage Digital Archive. These projects are about reclamation as much as it is about Removal. Ohio, and the Midwest more broadly, mythologizes its past by laying claim to various freedoms: free from tyranny, free from slavery, and since 1843, also free from Indians. In coproducing this project, the Wyandotte are reclaiming control of their history, but how do they ensure the long term sustainability of these important resources?   Wednesday, 9 October 2024 14.00 - 15.00 "Aquarium", 3rd floor MSH and online 9 October 2024 Public history Public History Conferences Published Hide image in content detail

The most iconic monsters in modern pop culture, including the vampire, the zombie, Frankenstein’s monster and even the mummy, have been the subject of numerous critical studies that have explored their cultural dimensions – or, in other words, the social, historical and political significance of the narratives in which they appear. The werewolf, on the other hand, has often been reduced to “the beast within,” or a psychoanalytic analogue for the bestial side of man. Phases of the Moon: A Cultural History of the Werewolf Film (2020) redresses the balance by providing wolf men and she-wolves with the same level of cultural analysis as has been afforded to their fellow monsters. This talk, drawn from Phases of the Moon, will explore the evolution of the werewolf from antiquity to modern cinem…

What if the Nazis had won World War II? What if J.F. Kennedy had survived the assassination? What if the Cold War had ended in nuclear devastation? Games often engage with counterfactual history, exploring events that didn’t happen but might have, inviting players to consider not only how different outcomes could have shaped the world we live in today, but also why certain events unfolded the way they did. For this new appointment with History@Play, the C²DH is proud to once again team up with Rotondes, Game On, and the BTS school of Game Programming and Game Design to explore how video games reimagine the past. The GRAND SALLE will showcase a selection of video games that reimagine key historical moments and immerse players in alternate histories. In the STUDIOS, we will present a historical board game workshop in collaboration with the BTS school of Game Programming and Game Design.

Visualisation is a great way to find problems in your data. As part of the Everyday Heritage project, I’m working with a team to document the lives of Tasmania’s Chinese residents in the 19th and early 20th centuries. We’re using a variety of sources such as Trove’s newspapers, the Tasmanian Names Index, and the Tasmanian Post Office Directories. To help with the research, I converted all the PDF volumes of the Post Office Directories into a public, online, searchable database. Or at least, I thought I had. The Tasmanian Post Office Directories database embeds metadata about each line of text in its results, so it’s easy to save items of interest using Zotero.

To understand the internet, one must understand advertising. But what is advertising, exactly? Is it simply a way to inform consumers about products and services? Is it large companies gathering consumer data? Hidden technologies for tracking and profiling? Public policies regulating data markets or leaving them unfettered? Advertising is all these things and more. In this talk, Matthew Crain will outline a political economic approach to advertising, foregrounding the concepts of social relations and structural power.   About the lecturer Matthew Crain is an Associate Professor of Media and Communication at Miami University. His research focuses on the political economy of media, advertising, and consumer surveillance. He is the author of Profit Over Privacy: How Surveillance Advertising Conquered the Internet (2021).

The Trove newspapers section of the GLAM Workbench was updated last week. Over the last year I’ve been gradually updating notebooks to use version 3 of the Trove API, but when version 2 suddenly disappeared a couple of weeks ago I had to hurriedly pull everything together. The Trove newspapers section includes 23 notebooks and 6 datasets, so it’s not a small job. The changes include: updated all notebooks to use version 3 of the Trove API removed remaining datasets from the code repository and created dedicated data repositories for them, integrating them with Zenodo where appropriate added metadata to all the notebooks – this is used to build an RO-Crate metadata file for the code repository updated all the Python packages added a voila.json file to configure Voilá None of the functionality of the notebooks should have changed. There’s a slight difference in the Finding non-English newspapers in Trove notebook because the language detection library I was using is no longer maintained. I’ve swapped in py3langid and it seems to work well, though the results are a little different. Interestingly, where the previous library thought that bad OCR was ‘Maltese’, the new one detects it as ‘Latin’! There’s no change to the list of newspapers with non-English language content detected by the notebook. The documentation pages have also been updated. The notebook pages are now built using data from the code repository’s RO-Crate file. They also include embedded HTML previews of the notebooks. If a notebook generates visualisations, the visualisations are usually included in the HTML, so you can explore the outputs without running the notebook – see, for example, the charts in Visualise the total number of newspaper articles in Trove by year and state. Most of the dataset pages now include links to explore the contents using Datasette-Lite. I still have to generate RO-Crate files for all the data repositories, but I wanted to get the code stuff finished first.

It’s pretty obvious that access to digitised resources, like Trove’s newspapers, has changed the practice of history in Australia. But how? I’m certain that the historiographical implications of the growth and development of online collections will become a topic of increasing interest to historians, and that exploration of this topic will lead to important insights into the relationship between what we keep, what we value, and what we know. But for this to happen we need to have data documenting changes in online collections. What became available when? How was it delivered to users? How did the search indexing work? In general, GLAM collection interfaces exist in an eternal present – they’re not good at explaining changes, or communicating their own histories. Australian GLAM organisatio…

The BBP is creating a digital database of Black book history with the aim of revealing the dynamic social networks and aesthetic practices specific to Black print cultures in the U.S.  During her talk, she will discuss her background in Black literary and cultural studies and how this informs her current work with the BBP. Her current research with the project is focused on developing and curating, in collaboration with graduate researchers, a corpus centering the print cultures of books authored by incarcerated Black writers and organizers of the late 20th century. The talk will explore the print cultures of Black prison movements while also attending to critical political, ethical and descriptive considerations involved in developing data about these works and writers. Dr. Tajah Ebram is a cultural historian, teacher and community memory worker. She is currently the Black Studies Librarian at Rutgers University New Brunswick and the Rutgers lead for the Black Bibliography Project. Prior to her work at Rutgers, she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Haverford College where she developed seminars around Black feminisms, carceral studies and Black environmentalism.  In 2020, she completed her PhD in English at the University of Pennsylvania where she focused on Philly Black freedom movements through the lenses of oral history, digital storytelling, and material culture.   Image for Left Column:

I was recently contacted by a researcher who wanted to be able to automatically download the issues of a digitised periodical in Trove as PDFs. There was already a notebook in the GLAM Workbench that downloads the issues of a digitised newspaper as PDFs, but newspapers work differently to other digitised periodicals in Trove. While there was no corresponding notebook for other types of periodicals, all the necessary steps were documented in the Trove Data Guide, so it was just a matter of pulling together a few blocks of code. There are three main steps: get the nla.obj identifiers for all the periodical’s issues get the number of pages in each issue construct a url to download each issue as a PDF using the nla.obj identifier and the number of pages Get issue identifiers Version 3 of the T…

This interdisciplinary conference aims to explore the multifaceted roles of sports, culture, and arts in shaping diverse European societies throughout history. By going beyond traditional narratives of labour and economy, we seek to examine how these realms intersect with societal dynamics, identity formation, and community cohesion. Migration has long served as a conduit for the exchange and diffusion of sporting traditions, artistic expressions, and cultural identities across borders and continents. Similarly, sports, culture and arts serve as powerful mediums through which migrants navigate and negotiate their identities, fostering inclusion among migrant populations. This dynamic exchange between migration and what lies beyond work not only shapes the cultural landscapes of host nations but also enriches the global fabric of human experience. The annual event is co-organised by the Centre de Documentation sur les Migrations Humaines (CDMH), a long-time AEMI member; the Ville de Dudelange and the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH).   See the detailed programme.   25-28  September 2024 Town Hall, Salle Nic Birtz, Dudelange   https://www.c2dh.uni.lu/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/diddeleng_gemeng_web.jpg?itok=c1UWVcQk 34th AEMI (Association of European migration institutions) conference. 25 September 2024 to 28 September 2024 Contemporary history of Luxembourg Contemporary history of Europe Migration history Transnationalism Conferences Published Photo by Cornischong [CC BY-SA 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons.

Many questions are currently being asked about the practice of history: archives are being transformed, tools have changed, as have the logics and players involved in disseminating historical research. How do we choose among the many paths open to us today? The “Taste of the archive in the digital age” project, carried out since 2017 with Frédéric Clavert, aimed in part to describe these new practices of history; it led to a reflection on the nature of the links that bind us to the archive. Certain parts of this documentation have become unstable, such as “family” archives, which have hitherto survived in attics or trunks, and are now flows that disappear at the same time as our smartphones and their photo albums. Around these questions gravitate “worlds”: archivists, the “public”, students, publishers... what specific contributions can historians make in this galaxy?   Monday, 23 September 2024 16.30 - 17.30 "Aquarium", Maison des Sciences humaines 11, Porte des Sciences L-4366 Luxembourg and online   https://www.c2dh.uni.lu/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/carile_muller_full_width.jpg?itok=Jz0SRPJW Talk by Caroline Muller, Université de Rennes. 23 September 2024 Public history Archives Digital hermeneutics Digital methods Digitisation Conferences Published Hide image in content detail

Monday, November 4, 2024 - 12:00pm Williams 623 Christine Roughan is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Center for Digital Humanities and with Manuscript, Rare Book and Archive Studies. Christine earned her Ph.D. in the Ancient World from New York University in January 2023, where her doctoral work explored a premodern astronomical curriculum and its continued use in Greek and Arabic between the second and thirteenth centuries CE. Christine's research applies computational approaches to the study of manuscript transmissions in the Mediterranean world, particularly of mathematical and scientific works. During her postdoctoral term at Princeton, Christine is leveraging deep learning tools to classify and analyze visual data from digitized manuscripts, with a particular focus on paratextual material. The written outputs of manuscript cultures are often characterized by a degree of multiformity, and certain texts see particularly high amounts of variation. Works used for didactic purposes, for instance, often saw multiple interventions in the hands of contemporary scholars and teachers. While digital imaging initiatives have made great strides in making manuscript materials more accessible, the fact that this data is in image format has until recently presented a speedbump for research that would grapple with such highly variable traditions. But this is changing with the machine learning technologies available today. This talk will explore how these tools can facilitate access at scale into the texts of digitized manuscript collections, as well as support research into material beyond the main text column, whether that material is textual (e.g., marginal annotations) or visual (e.g., scientific diagrams).

The LOVÓ project is part of the programme of the Biennale 2024 Esch capitale culturelle.   What is LOVÓ? The term LOVÓ combines the words "love" (in English) and "avó" (grandmother in Portuguese) to refer to the memory of the grandmothers of the Portuguese and Cape Verdean community in Esch. Led by Myriam Dalal and Thomas Cauvin, researchers from the University of Luxembourg, this project uses oral history and art to give a voice to several Portuguese-speaking grandmothers residing in Esch-sur-Alzette, who have made this city their home. LOVÓ explores the personal stories of these remarkable women, weaving a link between the private and public spheres, and between the individual and the collective.

Project Start Date:  August, 2024 El Movimiento Audiovisual en Nuevitas (MAN) hace referencia a la gestión comunitaria (producción, alfabetización audiovisual, exhibición y distribución) que un grupo de jóvenes viene desarrollando en esta localidad desde el año 2007. Esta iniciativa en principio se encuentra deslindada de la institución política-cultural oficial cubana. Responde al concurso de los esfuerzos de sus integrantes y de los pobladores del municipio. En materia de formación profesional artística el núcleo central proviene de las Escuelas de Instructores de Arte en las especialidades de Teatro, Plástica, Música y Danza. La curva de aprendizaje en materia de realización audiovisual se sustenta en la práctica y participación en talleres, conferencias, cursos, festivales y otras experiencias educativa-formativas. Hasta la fecha se han producido alrededor de 100 materiales entre ficciones, documentales, videos musicales, video arte y carteles. Desde el año 2012 organizan la muestra de audiovisuales Hieroscopia con carácter anual. En ella se exhiben tanto las obras producidas por el MAN como de otros espacios de producción comunitaria en Cuba. El encuentro sirve también para el intercambio teórico sobre la práctica audiovisual aprovechando la presencia de realizadores, críticos, periodistas y en general, personal disímil que se dedica a lo cinematográfico en la isla. Por la constancia en el trabajo, la gestión de espacios para la creación y el debate y la vocación por la superación técnica y estética, el MAN se ha convertido en un foco del audiovisual cubano contemporáneo.

Over the past several decades, great strides have been made to democratize public history. As one of the main cultural sites where public history is engaged, museums play a critical role in not only educating the public, but, increasingly, learning from the public about the past, and its significance in the present and future. Ongoing calls for deeper and more diverse forms of participation, power sharing, and collaboration have brought a wider range of perspectives and participants into the processes of producing history for public engagement. But museum practitioners’ engagement with children often remains stuck in outmoded, hierarchical dynamics that fail to recognize children’s capacities as contributors and collaborators in public historical work. Very few museum institutions engage w…

Rondo is a predominantly African American neighborhood in St. Paul, Minnesota, with a familiar story. Across the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, an estimated 1,600 communities of color were destroyed by highway construction. Rondo was one of these neighborhoods, sacrificed to the asphalt as cities across the country weaponized their arteries by building “white roads through Black bedrooms.” Marvin Anderson remembers what the City of St. Paul did to his neighborhood, and he has made it his life’s mission to Remember Rondo. In 2015, Mr. Anderson and Rebecca Wingo joined forces to create RememberingRondo.org, a vibrant history hub with a community-based digital archive, a map of Rondo’s historic businesses, and much more. While Wingo’s academic institution initially hosted the project, …

Archiving has always been about selecting, preserving and making available. But while historians and archivists share a common interest in archived information, their vision of material relevance and record-keeping occasionally differ. Additionally to this ancient divide, digital archiving has brought new challenges for both communities. In this paper, I will first discuss conceptual continuity lines between analog and digital archiving of textual material at a general level. In a second step, I will examine both analog and digital archiving under the lens of their environmental footprint and the challenges it brings about in a context of resource shortage like the climate and biodiversity crisis. I will not concentrate solely on strategies pertaining to the archived material itself, but w…

Trove contains thousands of digitised maps from the collections of the National Library of Australia, but they’re not always easy to find because of the way they’re arranged and described. To help you explore these maps I’ve created a new database and published it using Datasette. Try it now! To get started, head to the map sheets table and search for some keywords. The results are displayed both as a cluster map using Leaflet, and as a table. To view the details of an individual map sheet, click on the id value. The individual record displays a zoomable version of the map image. If the record includes geospatial coordinates, these are also displayed on a modern basemap. There are also options to download the map image as a JPEG or a high-resolution TIFF (if available). Where possible …

This conference aims to address the often-overlooked genealogies of digital history and the recurring issue of »blind spots« within the field regarding its own past. Many of the epistemological and methodological questions we face today were already explored by previous generations. These explorations were often accompanied by rhetoric emphasizing the new, revolutionary, and disruptive nature of digital history. Researchers still find it difficult to assess their own achievements from a historical perspective. Our conference seeks to bring together digital historians from diverse contexts and regions to shed light on the history of digital history. While certainly not exhaustive, the conference will focus on the importance of historicizing developments, methods, and practices in digital hi…

I had to update my sadly-neglected CV, so of course I ended up renovating the whole of my personal website at timsherratt.au. To start with, I migrated my CV from Pages to Markdown. This made it easy to integrate the CV’s content into the site’s about me page. As i was updating the CV, I tried to get as many as possible of my publications and presentations into Zenodo for easy access and safekeeping. This means that the about me page now has a long list of publications and presentations, dating back more than 20 years, that are (almost) all available online. While I was fiddling about with the content, I thought I should probably update the theme as well.

While historical video games set in Antiquity tend to focus on military gameplay, economic aspects such as resource exploitation and management have always been a significant part of the ludic depiction of the ancient world, from 4X grand strategy games, to city builders, to action-adventures. The talk takes a closer look at how economy and trade are (mis)represented and utilised in “ancient” video games, from Hamurabi (1973) to Builders of Egypt (2020). Christian Rollinger is Reader in Ancient History at the University of Trier and currently a Visiting Professor at the University of Potsdam. His research interests include the economic and cultural history of the late Roman republic, the late Roman empire, ancient monarchies generally, and Classical Receptions in modern popular media.

The Trove Data Guide aims to help researchers understand, access, and use data from Trove. But just because it’s about ‘data’ doesn’t mean you need to be able to code. To understand Trove data and its possibilities for research, you first need to understand Trove itself – its history, its structure, its assumptions, and its limits. This knowledge is useful to any Trove user. For example, all Trove users would benefit from knowing more about works and versions, or how to use the ‘simple’ search box for complex queries. There’s also an introduction to what’s in (and not in) the digitised newspapers, and similar overviews for other digitised content such as books, parliamentary papers, and oral histories. Number of newspapers articles in Trove by publication year, showing the change from 2011 to 2022 Several sections document the way the web interface works (or doesn’t work). There’s a field guide to the various interfaces and identifiers you might come across, and details of options for downloading data. The Trove Data Guide fills many gaps in the official Trove documentation, so check here if you run into problems, or can’t figure out how to achieve a particular task. Perhaps you were wondering how to download digitised images at their highest available resolution? For people who are more comfortable with code there are plenty of useful snippets and complete working examples. For example there are sections that document how to get metadata, text, and images from newspapers, and other digitised resources. There are also a series of ‘HOW TO’ pages that describe more complex data access methods. But what can you do with Trove data? The Trove Data Guide’s Pathways provide detailed tutorials that lead you step by step through examples of packaging Trove data for use with other digital tools. Use these examples as a starting point in planning your own projects.

For this part of the ARDC’s Community Data Lab project, I’ve been focusing in particular on adding a series of researcher pathways to the Trove Data Guide. These pathways link data from Trove to a variety of tools and approaches and include five detailed tutorials. The first four were: Analysing keywords in Trove’s digitised newspapers Working with a Trove collection in Tropy Comparing manuscript collections in Mirador Sharing a Trove List as a CollectionBuilder exhibition I’ve now added the fifth and final (for now) tutorial: Create a layer in the Gazetteer of Historical Australian Placenames using metadata from Trove’s digitised maps As has been the way in a lot of TDG development, this tutorial builds on and extends resources available through the GLAM Workbench. The Trove maps section of the GLAM Workbench already included a dataset of digitised maps and their coordinates, but for this tutorial I added a notebook that lets you create a subset of maps relating to a particular region. It does this by putting all the available map locations on world map. You then draw a rectangle on the map to select a region and display details of all the maps whose centre points fall within that region. It also displays links to download your new dataset as either a CSV or GeoJSON file. The tutorial walks you through this process, then demonstrates how you can upload data from the CSV file to create a new layer in the Gazetteer of Historical Australian Placenames (GHAP). This part of the Trove Data Guide project is now finished, but I’ll be continuing to add and refine content. If you have any suggestions for additional tutorials, feel free to add them to the ideas board (no promises though!).

Taking a new generation of Holocaust comics as a point of departure, the lecture seeks to historicize different strategies of Holocaust visualization within their respective media ecological contexts. I am particularly interested in exploring the interaction between the structural affordances of analogue, electronic, and digital media and their respective political-normative settings. More specifically, I would like to test the hypothesis that technological and social transformations have prompted key institutions and stake holders to redefine the limits of Holocaust representation inadvertently setting Holocaust memory on a path of reduced visibility.

You’ve been collecting and annotating items relating to your research project in a Trove List. You’d like to display the contents of your list as an online exhibition for others to explore. But how? One possible approach is now documented in the Trove Data Guide. I’ve added a tutorial which walks through the process of using a GLAM Workbench notebook to extract and process data from a Trove List, before uploading it to CollectionBuilder to create an instant exhibition. CollectionBuilder creates online exhibitions using static web technologies. It provides a GitHub Pages template repository, so all you need to do to create an exhibition is upload your metadata and images to GitHub. The GLAM Workbench notebook gets your list data from the Trove API, and enriches it a bit to take advantage of CollectionBuilder’s built-in visualisations. For example, if there’s any digitised maps in your list, the notebook will try and extract their coordinates from the digitised map viewer and add them to the metadata so that CollectionViewer can display the location on a map. The notebook also downloads images of newspaper articles and other digitsed resources, and links them to the metadata, ready for upload.

Au Portugal, il y a 50 ans, le 25 avril 1974, de jeunes officiers, soutenus par une grande partie de la population, renversaient l’Estado Novo, régime autoritaire mis en place par António de Oliveira Salazar en 1933. La fin de cette dictature de près de 40 ans signera également l’arrêt de mort d’un empire colonial européen majeur. Trop souvent réduite à un coup d’État pacifique qui ne dure que quelques heures, la Révolution des Œillets et ses conséquences (décolonisation, mobilisations sociales, quête d’une voie socialiste originale) sont encore mal connues. L'ouvrage “La Révolution des Œillets au Portugal" par Victor Pereira offre une synthèse actualisée du processus révolutionnaire portugais.

There’s a new draft tutorial in the development version of the Trove Data Guide. It walks through the process of harvesting a collection of digitised newspaper articles from Trove, reshaping the harvest to create sub-collections, and then loading the data into the Keyword Analysis Tool provided by the Australian Text Analytics Platform (ATAP). Along the way it goes into a fair bit of detail about constructing searches, using the Trove Newspaper Harvester, and thinking about your data. Much of the information on creating and reshaping datasets would apply to using the digitised newspapers with other analysis tools as well.

I’ve just created a GitHub repository template that you can use to get your own Mirador version 3 installation running in minutes. You can also configure it to display local or remote IIIF manifests. I was thinking that it could be useful for researchers who want to create their own customised Mirador workspaces to examine a particular set of documents, but don’t want to install any software or fiddle about on the command-line. I’ve been doing a lot with IIIF lately. First a GLAM Workbench notebook to save a collection of images from Trove as an IIIF manifest. Then a tutorial for the Trove Data Guide that walks through the whole process of generating an IIIF manifest from Trove, then loading the manifest into Tropy for analysis and annotation.

In his proposal for the Dartmouth summer research project (1955-1956), Nathaniel Rochester wondered whether injecting some randomness into a machine could make it creative. But how to control this randomness to prevent machines crashing and ensure the generated content’s relevance ? Seventy years later, the so-called « generative AI » seems to have solved the problem, or at least circumvented some obstacles. Despite the difficulty of estimating what goes on inside deep neural networks, we will briefly describe what « creativity » is about in generative AIs (interpolation in a latent space) and the current controversy over how to evaluate it using dedicated benchmarks. Then, drawing from literature and philosophy (Borges, Caillois, Bachelard), we will challenge the claim that it can be compared to human creativity. Finally, we will examine how these machines don’t have to be creative like humans to trigger an epochal change that we need to characterize.
