The contemporary moment seems to be one of “enchanted determinism”—a constructed belief that technology will inevitably find the right answers if fed enough data. Yet the familiar principle of “Garbage In, Garbage Out” remains as relevant as ever. The “garbage” in this equation increasingly takes the form of bias, manifesting in algorithms that discriminate against marginalized populations and (digital) systems that reproduce harmful content. For digital humanities researchers, this challenge is compounded by multiple intersecting forms of bias they must navigate: archival biases in source selection, historical power structures in interpretation, representational biases in digitisation, and algorithmic biases in analysis. Despite growing attention to ‘bias mitigation’, the term carries diff…

After my Trove API keys were cancelled without warning on 21 February, I reluctantly agreed to a meeting with the National Library of Australia. They had provided so little information in their emails, that it seemed to be the only way to find out what was really going on. I came out of the meeting shocked by the NLA’s change in attitude towards API use. TL;DR – you’re probably breaching the API terms of use All Trove API users need to be aware that the NLA now insists that accessing the ‘content’ of resources, rather than just the descriptive metadata, is a breach of the API terms of use. This includes the full text of digitised newspaper and journal articles that are included in API responses.

What happens when science goes off the rails, and how do digital games bring this to life? This talk explores how systems theory, a framework developed by German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, can help us understand the portrayal of “Mad Science” in video games. Systems theory views society as a network of self-contained systems, each governed by its own logic (medicine by “healthy/sick,” for instance, or mass media by “information/non-information). These systems help us manage crises, but they also create friction and uncertainty. In digital games, this friction is deliberately amplified. The hardware and software systems that underpin gameplay create challenges and disruptions, while game narratives exaggerate the breakdowns of other societal systems. Nowhere is this more vivid than in “Mad…

Public urban green spaces are a key element of the “livable” city. They serve as social and recreational spaces, are free of charge, and generally met with positive sentiments. Yet, public urban green spaces are far from banal or neutral. They are products of policies and societal ideals that reach back to the post-World War II era. This Research Seminar talk is devoted to the topic of public urban green space creation as a tool for identity narration in the port cities of Hamburg and Marseille. Joined by a city partnership from 1958 onwards, Hamburg and Marseille’s municipal governments stood in close collaboration concerning urban development projects, including park construction. Carefully planned green spaces were developed to serve as an antidote to the negative port city stereotypes of being polluted and dangerous. As their respective countries’ second cities and largest ports, the municipal governments of Hamburg and Marseille supported one another in trying to prove that port cities were valuable beyond their importance for the national economy. What this looked like exactly, who was involved and who was left out, will be discussed in this presentation.

I’ve created a new site (or in fact, renovated an old site) to aggregate news from GLAM collections (that’s galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) and help researchers using those collections. It’s called The Primary Source which is a bit of a bad history pun. Why is is needed? Before the nazi takeover of the old bird site, I had a list of GLAM organisation accounts which made it pretty easy to follow what was going on in Australia’s galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. Things are more fragmented now and surviving social media accounts seem dominated by event promotion, cute videos, and cultural heritage clickbait. There are a few blogs (though apparently the fashion is to call them ‘stories’), but functioning RSS feeds are rare. How can researchers find out about new GLAM …

Since March 2021, I’ve been harvesting details of newly-digitised files in the National Archives of Australia to help document long-term changes to online access. A few weeks ago, I summarised the data from 2024, and published annual compilations in Zenodo. I’ve now created an automatically-updated dashboard which displays digitisation progress in the past week, the current year, and since my harvests began. Each week, after the latest data harvest, a GitHub action runs a Jupyter notebook that pulls in the data, generates some visualisations and summaries, and saves the results as an HTML page. It’s similar to the Trove newspaper data dashboard. Check in every Sunday afternoon to see what’s changed!

Why is this needed? I was contacted recently by a member of the team that publishes The Triangle, a community newsletter from the south coast of NSW. Issues of The Triangle from 2007 to the present have been uploaded to Trove through the National eDeposit service, but they were wondering whether it was possible to search across all their newsletters in Trove. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Issues of The Triangle are saved in Trove as PDFs with a searchable text layer.

This lecture will examine the ways in which three principal figures of Old Norse myth have been made to signify in recent Anglo-American culture. Exploring the figures of Óðinn, Þórr and Loki (and his monstrous children) in novels, films, TV shows and operas, I will argue that these figures are indeed, as journalists like to say, ‘having a moment’ in the present-day popular imagination, in ways that differ considerably from their roles in previous nineteenth- and early twentieth-century works. The cultural functions they fulfil are closely related to their depictions in medieval sources – indeed, their ‘authenticity’ in relation to medieval source material for example is a subject of lively debate in fan communities – but these characters have also fundamentally re-tooled and re-imagined i…

The book “´No one cried, there were no more tears´. Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian Female Forced Laborers in Luxembourg during the Second World War from a Transnational Perspective” sheds light on the everyday life and working conditions of Soviet forced laborers in Luxembourg during the Second World War. How did they experience the hard times under the German occupation, and how did these experiences shape their later lives? With the help of German, American, Luxembourgian and Soviet documents, as well as the personal memories of the so called “Ostarbeiters”, Eastern workers, a comprehensive picture is drawn: from the deportation from the occupied Soviet Union, the hardships of the transport and the stay in transit camps, to the working and living conditions in the Grand Duchy. It also describes the fate of Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians after the liberation of Luxembourg and their return to their homeland – although this only rarely meant a return to their old lives. This book is the result of a scientific project led by Dr. Inna Ganschow from 2021 to 2024 at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History C²DH) funded by the Luxembourg Ministry of State. The presentation will be held in German.

I’ve created a new dataset containing 10 years of data that can be used to explore the workings of the National Archives of Australia’s access examination system. Australian government records become available for public access after 20 years. But before being opened to the public, records go through a process known as access examination to determine whether they should be withheld, either partially or completely. The grounds for exemption are laid out in the Archives Act and include things like national security and personal privacy. If a record is completely withheld from access, the NAA’s database, RecordSearch, records its access status as ‘closed’. On or about 1 January every year since 2016, I’ve harvested details of files in RecordSearch with the access status of ‘closed’. On the day when the media is full of revelations from the public release of the latest batch of cabinet records, I thought it was important to find out what we couldn’t see, as well as what we could. I’ve now published all the annual harvests as a dataset on Zenodo. It’s important to note that records can be re-examined and their access status can change. Also some ‘closed’ files are actually ‘withheld pending advice’ – in these cases a final access decision hasn’t been made as the NAA has referred the files to their controlling agencies for advice. This means that this dataset should be treated as providing annual snapshots of an active system, not a cumulative record of closed files. Some of the complexities of the access examination system revealed by this data are discussed in the Inside Story article ‘Withheld pending advice’. I’m hoping to do some more analysis later this year.

Dear Computational Humanities Research Community, As many of you know, we have been publishing our conference proceedings with CEUR Workshop Proceedings since the first edition of CHR back in 2020. CEUR has provided an accessible and open platform to share our work. However, our conference’s growth has led CEUR to inform us that they are no longer able to publish our proceedings, also considering that we’re not a computer science conference. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for us. We need to identify a new, sustainable solution that aligns with our values as a community: openness, accessibility, and inclusivity. We are committed to ensuring that the process of selecting a new venue is as participatory and transparent as possible, which is why we are reaching out to all of you for suggestions, ideas, and feedback. Here are some points to consider when proposing or evaluating alternatives: We want to continue using TeX How can we ensure that our proceedings remain freely accessible to researchers worldwide? What are the long-term implications in terms of costs, maintenance, and scalability? Does the venue reflect the interdisciplinary nature of our work, particularly the balance between computational methods and humanities research? If you have suggestions, please share them in the comments below. We look forward to hearing your ideas! 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic

Humming Home is a FNR-funded series of events that aim to look at how different cultures, community groups, and people use sound, music, and silence to talk about their history. What can music and history have in common? Can the sound tell us more about the past? What role does the voice have in this? And what about silence? Does it also speak? And does voice imply agency over history? How are sounds and their absence reflected in our political and cultural recollection of the past? On Listening with Politics: In 2023, Abu Hamdan founded Earshot, the world’s first organization using sound for the defense of human and environmental rights. Reflecting on its first year of operation, Abu Hamdan will be elaborating on the interrelations of art and activism and listening with politics. The pres…

The ARDC is holding an event on 18 February to begin shaping the next phase of the Community Data Lab. If you’re interested in the development of digital tools and resources to support HASS research, I’d suggest you go along. I worked on the first phase of the Community Data Lab, developing the Trove Data Guide amongst other things. I’m very keen to see the CDL expand, working with researchers to create new possibilities for digital research, particularly using the rich collections of the GLAM sector (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums). As planning gets underway for the next phase of the CDL, I thought I’d pull together some rough ideas about what the CDL might be and might do. The ARDC needs co-investment in its projects, so new initiatives have to have some form of institutiona…

Rooted in the ERC project Science at the Fair: Performing Knowledge and Technology in Western Europe (1850-1914), this lecture discusses the vibrant yet elusive world of nineteenth-century fairgrounds as hubs of cultural exchange, blending entertainment, science, technology, and visual culture. However, the scarcity and dispersion of source materials and artefacts presents substantial challenges for its historical research. Three case studies illustrate the approaches involved in locating and analyzing a diverse range of relevant source materials, including flyers, trade journals, and paintings: (1) unearthing fairground ephemera in the Brussels’ antique circuit, (2) digitizing Der Komet, a pioneering trade journal for fairground professionals, and (3) investigating the cosmorama paintings…

In 2024, the National Archives of Australia digitised 254,953 files (down from 416,602 in 2023). This chart shows the number of files digitised per day in 2024. The decrease in the total number of files digitised is probably related to the completion of the NAA’s five year project to digitise Second World War service records. Thanks to $10 million in government funding, the NAA has digitised more than a million service records since 2019. In 2023, 81% of records digitised were from series containing service records. This has dropped to around 40% in 2024. Here’s the total number of files digitised per year since February 2021. The files digitised in 2024 came from 1,439 different series. Here’s the top twenty series by number of items digitised in 2024. You’ll see that as well as war recor…

There are countless days every year with internationalist and universal pretentions, what sets May Day apart is its success. May Day’s global impact and cross-cultural participation, often in spite of local elites, sets it further apart from its would-be competitors. It has been—and still is—celebrated by Anarchists in Tunisia, Socialists in Argentina, and Communists in India because these groups, despite all their differences, share a common international and socialist culture. May Day’s importance in this culture makes the question of who “made” it so relevant; who is responsible for this shared socialist symbol? Based on early research into the spread of May Day, this presentation sets the stakes of the debate over the origins and spread of May Day and traces the competing global and national narratives of the day’s early history. Tracing these narratives alongside the spread of May Day across the globe shows how interwoven the cultural worlds of international socialists are and explains why the day has succeeded in becoming one the great symbols of the struggle for social justice.

The Legacy of ‘The Family of Man’ project, funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund, aims to shed new light on the reception of Edward Steichen’s photographic exhibition in the context of its international tour and of the permanent exhibition in Luxembourg. Having toured the world during the Cold War, the impression became a tool of cultural diplomacy for the US Information Agency. However, very little research has been done on the reception of the exhibition and how the latter was adapted for the different locations. Here, the project will focus on the Global South. Concerning the local exhibition, the reception has been assessed; however, it has not been assessed in a historical-critical manner. Initially neglected by the Luxembourg authorities, ‘The Family of Man’ underwent a nation-branding during the 1990s, and this trend has continued. Using oral history methods and a visitor survey, the research project aims for a more diverse and critical perspective on the exhibition. Ultimately, the project will draw on public history approaches for the publication of results: a website with an interactive map and a comic book are in the planning. Speaker Dr Claude Ewert is a historian specialising in contemporary Europe, with a focus on Cold War and European integration history. He obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge, where he wrote his dissertation titled ‘The European Community’s Relations with the Soviet Union (1973-1991).’ Following a brief stint in EU diplomacy, Claude joined the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History as a postdoctoral researcher in the FOMLeg project.

Every Sunday I harvest information about the number of digitised newspaper articles in Trove. You can view the current results in the Trove Data Dashboard. By compiling all the data from 2024, you can find out what changed last year. 6,241,739 digitised newspaper articles were added to Trove in 2024. The rate of digitisation was pretty quick until the end of March when the processing of the Melbourne Sun ended, then things flattened out a bit. While the number of articles with corrections, tags, and comments all increased steadily across 2024, there seems to have been a bit of glitch indexing tags and comments causing some jumps in the totals. Most of the digitised newspaper articles were published in NSW (3,190,972), Victoria (2,680,855), and South Australia (363,483). Thirty-eig…

The legal profession has long been identified as a power broker between political, corporate, state-bureaucratic and academic elites. Recent research has focused on the emergence of new professionals who are willing and able to work across national frontiers. As professional go-betweens, lawyers – alongside accountants, financial advisers or wealth managers – have become essential actors of the emerging “transnational legal field”, coordinating strategies across jurisdictions and forming a strong component of professional services firms. The objective of this workshop is threefold. First, it aims to take stock of the ongoing international and interdisciplinary debates. Second, it intends to focus on the historical dimension and to deepen our understanding of the changes over time of the le…

Luxembourgish presence in Romania (1890-1950)”, the C²DH and the Centre de Documentation sur les Migrations humaines, Dudelange, organise a symposium regarding Jewish migration from eastern Austria-Hungary and Romania to Luxembourg and vice versa, within the broader context of antisemitism in Russian-occupied Bukovina during the First World War, and in Romania in the first half of the 20th century. Two Romania-based specialists, Andrei Cușco and Bronwyn Cragg, will dive into the history of antisemitic discourse and violence, a driving force behind the emigration of Jews, as well as a Luxembourgish Jew’s first-hand experience of antisemitism in Romania, while Philippe Blasen from the C²DH/CDMH will retrace the migration of Jews from Romania to Luxembourg during the interwar period.

2024: A Review Written by Darja Fišer 2024 was another successful year for CLARIN! We welcomed new members (Spain and South Africa), increased the number of service and knowledge centres (now a total of 73), and worked hard to achieve two of our key strategic goals: improving interoperability and findability. A new CLARIN Resource Family was developed for Corpora of Disordered Speech. It deals with a specific kind of speech data that is related to the recordings of individuals with communication disorders. These corpora are invaluable for education and research, but are costly and hard to build and can be difficult to share, given privacy and confidentiality issues. This new Resource Family currently lists around 20 corpora that are made available via CLARIN, covering nearl…

Humming Home est une série d’événements qui visent à examiner comment différentes cultures, groupes communautaires et individus utilisent le son, la musique et le silence pour parler de leur histoire. Qu’ont en commun la musique et l’histoire ? Le son peut-il nous en dire plus sur le passé ? Quel rôle joue la voix dans ce contexte ? Et le silence ? Parle-t-il aussi ? La voix implique-t-elle une certaine maîtrise de l’histoire ? Comment les sons et leur absence se reflètent-ils dans notre mémoire politique et culturelle du passé ?

Ikonomou (UCPH) will show how they use prosopography and biography to open up the black box of international public administrations, spanning from the League of Nations and the UN, via NATO and the OECD, to the European Parliament. The aim is to display how prosopographical databases and digital prosopography provide a “meso-level” of analysis, that allow us to connect the political and institutional layer of international organizations (macro) to the professional agency and worldview of individual officials (micro). This, in turn, recasts our understanding of how policies are conceived, institutionalized, and practiced in IOs. The talk will feature several concrete examples from recent and ongoing res…

Political violence is defined as the deliberate use of power and force to achieve political goals. It is characterized by both physical and psychological acts aimed at injuring or intimidating populations. In that sense, the word "difficult" in the title of this seminar refers to events in time that can be identified as acts of political violence. In such circumstances, any attempt to do public history can certainly have its challenges. From ensuring participation, to working with silence, considering the mental health of both the participants and the project leaders, or anticipating the social impact before making this research public. During this seminar, Myriam Dalal will expand on the definition of the relatively new field of artistic research methodologies, which involves the creation of arts to help the practitioner/researcher improve, change or make their processes more effective, specific and articulated. Myriam Dalal will then discuss how artistic research methodologies can work with and help address some of the challenges of documenting “difficult” histories, based on examples from her research projects (1) tackling war, its photographic representation in the case of Lebanon and (2) migration/exile and the displacement/belonging experience in Luxembourg.

A couple of months ago I realised my big, searchable database of Tasmanian Post Office Directories was missing the volume from 1920. It took a bit of work to add it in, as described in this post. Unfortunately, I’d barely finished when I realised that a number of other years were also missing! Argh! The good news is that I’ve been steadily working through these missing volumes, adding one a week, and now I’m finally, finally finished! The new volumes are: 1920 1933-34 1941-42 1942-43 1943-44 1945-46 In total there are now 54 volumes from 1890 to 1948. Every line of every volume has been OCRd and indexed, so you can run fulltext searches across all 54 volumes to find matching entries. The fulltext search also supports advanced operators like wildcards and booleans. As I mentioned in relation to 1920, while these volumes can be downloaded as PDFs from Libraries Tasmania, they don’t contain any OCRd text – they’re not searchable (despite what Libraries Tasmania says here). The quality of the scans is also quite variable – tight bindings cut off text, pages are skewed, and lighting is inconsistent. This means that the OCR processing is far from perfect. There will be names missing from the search index as a result of this. However, because you can search across all volumes at once, the database makes it easier to find people, as you can pick them up in one year and follow them through subsequent volumes, filling in any gaps. It would be great if Libraries Tasmania would add a link to the database from their Directories and almanacs page. I’ve sent a couple of emails but haven’t received a reply. It seems odd that they’d link to commercial offerings like FindMyPast, but not to the free, community-developed version!

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.

The full-scale Russian war shattered (and continues to have a tremendous impact) the everyday lives and professional practices of people in Ukraine. In the early spring of 2022, many social scientists and historians started to reassemble their skills and apply them to the documentation of the present moment. As the war unfolds, their rapid responses adjust to new durations. During her presentation, Natalia will discuss transitioning from an emergency to a longitudinal approach in war documentation. Based on the example of the “24/02/22, 5 am: Testimonies of the War” international initiative, she will describe how scholars can implement a shared authority principle at different interview-based research stages. She will address multiple inherent challenges for the projects dealing with open-…

This talk presents ground-breaking new work on AI applied to the government records of the Cabinet Office, in order to automatically identify historically significant records to preserve and other records that can be deleted. The Cabinet Office is the UK central government department that supports the Prime Minister in the effective running of government. Its records are among the most important that are deposited in The National Archives, covering those of the Prime Minister, Cabinet proceedings, government efficiency and reform, and the formulation of legislation, among other areas. This talk, which is based on a co-authored article with David Canning (Cabinet Office), does not only describe a radically new methodology to appraise digital records, it also makes a significant theoretical …

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.

By bringing the participants together, we hope to encourage collaboration between creator-historians and (academic) public historians.

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 …

Thinking about a tool like Omeka also gives us the opportunity to get into some of the most common questions in DH around maintenance, sustainability, collaboration, labor, digital representation, and the politics of metadata … and probably a few other things too.

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.
