Introduction: CKL2CORPORA
Written by Magali Paquot
CKL2CORPORA was officially recognised as a K-centre by CLARIN on November 28, 2022.

The K-centre builds on more than 30 years of expertise in the study of learner corpora, from corpus design to corpus analysis and applications at the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics (CECL). In the late 1980s, the CECL pioneered learner corpus r…

The Primary Source – GLAM collection news and help
Source: Tim Sherratt |
Reading time: 2 minutes
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 …
National Archives of Australia Digitisation Dashboard
Source: Tim Sherratt |
Reading time: 1 minutes
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!

Forced Laborers in Luxembourg: “Keiner weinte, es gab keine Tränen mehr”
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
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.

Call for input: finding a new publication venue for our conference proceedings
Source: Computational Humanities Research - Latest topics |
Reading time: 1 minutes
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!

Humming Home, Public History and Sound (part 2)
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 3 minutes
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…

(Re)searching Nineteenth-Century Fairground Ephemera: (Un)conventional Pathways

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…

Who made May Day? Early research into the Globalization of the First of May
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
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.

What is Douglass Day?
Douglass Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14th, the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass. As Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, his family chose Valentine’s Day to commemorate his life. The holiday was established after Douglass’ passing in 1895, when influential activist Mary Church Terrell proposed a national holiday to honor his legacy. Douglass Day events were widespread in the early 20th century and served as inspiration for the creation of Black History Month. In 2017, a group at …

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!

While digital methods are increasingly common in the humanities, the status of "Digital Humanities" has evolved over the years. Once a cutting-edge buzzword, DH has grown into a vast umbrella covering a myriad of scholarly activities that can nevertheless be a polarizing concept.
The purpose of this meeting of the Graduate Student Working Group in Digital Humanities is to have a candid discussion about strategies for talking about and representing digital work in professional contexts including but not limited to job interviews. It should be useful for students who have solid DH experience as well as those who are trying to decide how much time and energy to invest in digital work

Producing and Debating History: Historical Knowledge on Wikipedia
Source: C2DH | Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History |
Reading time: 2 minutes
In 2021, the American Historical Association published a study on how the American public perceives and understands the past. 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 …

Introduction to Omeka

Omeka is a content management system (CMS) designed by digital humanists at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. It allows you to create online collections and digital exhibits without knowing any code. 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. The goal of the workshop isn’t necessarily to promote Omeka (evene though it is an excellent tool for many applications) but rather to give you the information you need to decide if Omeka is right for you (and if it isn’t, what alternatives there might be).

In this workshop, I will introduce and demo a few very easy to use tools including:
Voyant (easy Text Analysis)
TimelineJS (easy Time Line builder)
StoryMapper (easy interactive maping)
I’ll also talk a little about free options for building quick websites. If you’ve already seen me do something like this before, it is unlikely that I will go over anything new so don’t feel compelled to come. On the other hand, if you haven’t seen it, it sounds like people often find it to be useful.
