A few years ago, I harvested the details of tweets that included links to Trove. The data has just been sitting on my computer, so I thought I should package it up and share, in case it’s of use to anyone. The story is that back in 2021, I was working on the article ‘More than newspapers’ for a special section of History Australia focusing on Trove. I was thinking that I might include something about the way Trove newspaper articles were mobilised within online discussions about history – a topic I first explored in ‘Life on the outside: connections, contexts, and the wild, wild web’, my keynote for the Annual Conference of the Japanese Association of Digital Humanities in 2014. In the end, the article went in another direction, so I didn’t use the data. I remembered this recently and thou…

This is a preprint of my contribution to the publication ‘Building User-Friendly Toolkits and Platforms for Digital Humanities’. It provides a brief overview of the GLAM Workbench. I had to leave a lot out, but hopefully it provides a useful summary of what the GLAM Workbench is, and what I’d like it to be. The GLAM Workbench is a collection of tools and resources created to help researchers use and explore the digital collections of GLAM organisations (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums).1 It’s mainly focused on collections from Australia and New Zealand, but some sections venture across international boundaries to explore topics such as web archives and Wikidata. GLAM organisations make a lot of rich cultural data available online, but getting that data in a machine-readable fo…

Just one example: is it appropriate for a reviewer to negatively evaluate the results of an article because the authors didn’t use a larger (paid) LLM?

Since the 1970s, deindustrialization has fundamentally changed Western industrial societies. In North America and Europe, thousands of jobs have been lost in traditional industrial regions, in particular in the textile industry, coal mining, the iron and steel industry and shipbuilding. Even in the electronic consumer goods sector and the watch and photography industries, many millions of jobs have been eliminated or relocated to other regions of the world. There is no question that deindustrialization is one of the most far-reaching transformation processes in contemporary history, fundamentally changing landscapes, economic structures and socio-cultural environments.

A couple of weeks ago I bid farewell to Trove due to the cancellation of my API keys and the NLA’s lack of transparency around changes to API access. Now it seems I have to wave goodbye to 16+ years of work on RecordSearch, the National Archives of Australia’s online database. I noticed this morning that my weekly harvest of recently digitised files in RecordSearch had failed. A quick check showed that my harvester was being blocked by Cloudflare’s bot protection software. I wasn’t really surprised. Websites are using tools like this to protect themselves against AI scraper bots, and I’d already seen it in action on another Australian government site.

Edward Steichen saw The Family of Man as the crowning achievement of his long career as photographer and curator. During its seven-year tour of 48 countries between 1955 and 1962, the exhibition was seen by almost ten million people. This remarkable success placed the exhibition not only at the very heart of Cold War cultural politics but also at the center of mid-century debates about modernism and the loss of audience, debates which circled around contested valuations of ‘high,’ ‘middlebrow’ and ‘popular’ categorisations of the arts. For many critics, The Family of Man‘s popularity is a confirmation that it was middlebrow work that drained the radical content from modernist forms in order to appropriate them for a populist address. This paper argues instead that Steichen as curator-artist fashioned a popular modernism that unsettled contemporary thinking about the middlebrow and cut across what Andreas Huyssen has called “the great divide” between modernism and mass culture. Shamoon Zamir is Professor of Literature and Art history at New York University Abu Dhabi. His previous publications on photography include The Gift of the Face: Portraiture and Time in Edward S. Curtis’s The North American Indian (2014), Helen Levitt: New York (2021) and Yasser Alwan: Egypt Every Day (2022).

The lecture will illustrate the path that led to the construction of a database on migration narratives, from an interdisciplinary perspective. In particular, the characteristics of the Horizon2020 project ITHACA (‘Interconnecting History and Archives for Migrant Agencies’, developed between 2021 and 2025) will be outlined. The aim of the project was to produce a repository that would enhance different dimensions of migration with the aim of influencing policy and informing public debate. The database therefore needed to combine several factors: time, space, narratives, representation and self-representation of migrants. Matteo Al Kalak is Full Professor of Early Modern History and Director of the Research Centre on Digital Humanities at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

Over the last few months I’ve been grappling with the cancellation of my Trove API keys by the National Library of Australia. It may seem like a minor technical hiccup from the outside, but it’s had a major personal impact. For the sake of my health, I’ve decided to stop work on Trove, archive all my code repositories related to Trove, and move on. Farewell Trove. But don’t panic! All of my Trove tools and resources available through the GLAM Workbench and elsewhere will remain online. They just won’t be updated. I’ll be adding explanatory notices to the affected resources over coming weeks. All of my stuff is openly licensed, so feel free to take what’s useful and develop it further yourself. I’ll also be adding warnings for researchers planning to use the Trove API in their projects. Given the fact that the NLA is willing to change the API terms of use to restrict access without any consultation, provides no transparency around acceptable use of full text content, and is willing to cancel API keys without warning, I can no longer recommend Trove as a reliable source for digital research. A PhD student could embark on a project in good faith, only to have the rules change mid-project. I think this is a critical issue for the research sector, and hard questions need to be asked of the NLA. But I can’t be the one to do this any more. I’m sick of being the person calling the NLA out on its bad behaviour. I’m sick of their gaslighting. I wanted to avoid making any dramatic gestures, but after talking it over with my partner last night, I realised my health is really suffering and I need to make a change. I also realised that even if my API keys were magically restored, I’d always be looking over my shoulder, wondering if I’d done something to offend the NLA gatekeepers. That’s not a good way to live. I’d rather spend my time working with organisations who value what I do.

This hands-on history lecture explores the often-overlooked phenomenon of digital disappearance and what happens when data seemingly vanishes. While much attention has been paid to data accumulation and preservation, this talk examines the equally important yet understudied dynamics of data loss, asking: How do digital remains persist even as information disappears? What can the material traces of deletion reveal about power structures in our datafied world? Through concrete case studies ranging from platform architectures to digital administrations, this lecture demonstrates how technical practices of data removal create complex patterns of presence and absence that challenge simple narratives of complete erasure. The exploration invites participants to rethink fundamental assumptions abo…

Propaganda is often viewed as a twentieth-century phenomenon, closely associated with the era of totalitarian regimes and mass media. Yet the rhetoric that justified European expansion in the late 19th-century was no less sophisticated or influential. This Research Seminar talk focuses on the Berlin Conference (1884-1885) as a foundational moment in the development of modern propaganda. Regarded as a key stage in the imperial partition of Africa, the Conference has been studied primarily from the point of view of diplomacy, economics and international law. However, the propagandist dimension of this event remains underexplored. Through a comparative study of the French Livres Jaunes, contemporary press coverage, and international diplomatic archives, this presentation will show how imperial powers, and particularly France, mobilized ideals of civilization, progress, and moral responsibility, to reframe imperial domination as a service to humanity. Rather than being centrally orchestrated, colonial propaganda at this time emerged through a decentralized network of diplomats, explorers, journalists, and political actors. By applying Harold Lasswell’s model of communication, the presentation will examine how these narratives were constructed, who shaped and disseminated them, which audiences they targeted, and what effects they sought to produce.   Wednesday, 21 May 2025 14.00 - 15.00 C²DH Open Space 21 May 2025 Digital history & historiography Colonialism Media history Research seminars Published Hide image in content detail

I’ve just updated my introduction to using Jupyter notebooks in the GLAM Workbench so that it runs in Jupyter Lite – that means no more waiting for cloud services to spin up, it all happens in your browser! All the Jupyter notebooks in GLAM Workbench can be run in the cloud using the free Binder service – either through the ARDC (requires authentication), or through the public, community-run service. While it’s usually just a matter of clicking a link, Binder can take a while to build the necessary computing environment, and sometimes it just fails. Jupyter Lite takes a different approach. Instead of building things in the cloud, it sets up everything it needs to run notebooks within your own browser. I’ve been experimenting with Jupyter Lite a bit over the past couple of years, waiting for the technology to reach the point where I could integrate it into the GLAM Workbench without greatly multiplying the maintenance burden. The obvious place to start was my introductory notebook, which demonstrates how Jupyter notebooks themselves work. Using live data from the National Museum of Australia API, it describes the basic structure of notebooks, and shows you how to edit and run code within them. I’ve now set things up so this notebook runs in Jupyter Lite. What does this mean? Previously, the link to the introductory notebook spun up a new Binder instance. Now, the link retrieves a static web page hosted on GitHub. As this page loads, it installs a Python kernel and everything else it needs to run the notebook within your browser. It’s a lot faster than waiting for Binder, and provides a smoother experience for new users. And because it’s just an ordinary web page, I can even embed a live, working version of the notebook within this blog post. Try it out! Jupyter Lite won’t currently work with every notebook in the GLAM Workbench. Some Python packages are difficult to install, and some data sources can’t be accessed due to CORS problems. But I’m planning to add Jupyter Lite options where I can.

ECHOES Questionnaire Deadline Extended The deadline for the ECHOES questionnaire has been extended to the end of June 2025. This extension aims to ensure input from as wide a range of professionals in the cultural heritage sector as possible. As part of the ECHOES Consultation towards mapping the needs and expectations for the Cultural Heritage Cloud, the questionnaire aims to identify the tools, processes, and data currently in use by culture heritage professionals and researchers. These insights will facilitate the development of strategic, collaborative, and inclusive community building approaches, while also informing the design and technological framework of the Cloud. Additionally, the findings will guide the selection of projects funded through the three upcoming Cascading Grant Calls, ensuring alignment with community-identified priorities.  After this initial online questionnaire, the Consultation will then proceed with workshops, focus groups, and targeted interviews to ensure an inclusive and comprehensive approach. We encourage all cultural heritage stakeholders to contribute!  Laura Gusan 15 April 2025

On 21 February, my Trove API keys were cancelled without warning. A week later, I met with NLA staff and was shocked to be told that downloading ‘content’, such as the text of digitised newspaper articles, was regarded as a breach of the API terms of use. Without API access I can’t continue my work helping researchers make use of Trove. More generally though, the NLA’s actions threaten innovative digital research. This post tries to answer some questions raised by my first two posts, and provides some updates on recent actions by the NLA. What’s an API key? You might be wondering what an API key is and why it’s important. At its heart, it’s all about access to data. The Trove API delivers information from Trove in a form that computers can understand and process. This allows researchers to…

Over the past few weeks I’ve been exploring the Public Record Office Victoria’s public API. There’s not a lot of documentation, but there is a lot of data! What’s not immediately obvious is that the API includes information about a variety of different entities within the PROV’s model for archival description – not just items, but functions, agencies, series and more. You can limit your API requests to a particular entity using the category field. You can also request facet counts from the category field to tell you how many of each type of entity are available from the API. I’ve been documenting this sort of information in notebooks for inclusion in the forthcoming PROV section of the GLAM Workbench. But I thought it might be useful to pull a few things together as a standalone dashboard, providing an overview of the PROV collection. So, here it is! The dashboard tells you how many records are currently available through the API, and breaks down this count by entity, and category. It then works through the main entities – functions, agencies, series, items, and images – displaying a series of charts and tables that give you an idea what they’re actually made up of. The dashboard is hosted on GitHub and is automatically updated every Sunday. In the future, I’ll do more to highlight changes over time.

The GLAM Name Index Search now includes more than 6 million rows of data from the Public Record Office Victoria, downloaded using their public API. The GLAM Name Index Search brings together records that include the names of people from 10 Australian GLAM organisations. With a single search, you can find information about individuals across millions of rows of data. Previous versions of the GLAM Name Index Search included a few datasets from the Public Record Office Victoria that had been shared through government open data portals. However, as I was exploring PROV’s public API recently, I realised that there were many more records that included people’s names. People’s names appear in a number of different fields in the PROV data – including family_name, description.name, and sams.descr…

With poor old TroveNewsBot killed by the NLA, my Mastodon feed has had less GLAM goodness of late. To try and fill the void I’ve created PROVBot, sharing photos from the Public Record Office Victoria. PROVBot makes use of the Public Record Office Victoria’s public API. At this stage it just selects and shares a random photograph once a day, but in the future I’ll probably add more features, such as the ability to respond to search queries. You can find PROVBot on the Fediverse at https://wraggebots.net/@provbot. There’s also an RSS feed that you can pop into your preferred feed reader. The bot’s code is openly licensed and available on GitHub.

The First ECHOES Call is Open We are pleased to announce that CLARIN is part of the ECHOES Cascading Grants Programme, aimed at supporting data sharing, the enhancement of digital engagement, and collaboration within the Cultural Heritage Community. In this context, ECHOES works towards building the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), a shared platform designed for heritage professionals and researchers to access data, tools, and resources co-developed to meet the specific needs of the community. The First ECHOES Open Call for Cascading Grants, launched on 28 February 2025, invites stakeholders from the Cultural Heritage community to contribute datasets for the Cultural Heritage Cloud. The call encourages proposals that define the dataset’s intended user community, scope, expected outcomes, and broader benefits. A total of twelve projects will be funded, with each receiving up to €60,000. Eligible coordinators include any Cultural Heritage Institution (CHI) located in a Horizon Europe country, whether independently or as part of a consortium. Smaller, medium-size, and/or lesser resourced CHIs are particularly encouraged to submit their proposals.  Proposals are due by 23:59 CEST on 15 May 2025. To assist applicants, the ECHOES team will host an online Q&A session on 17 April 2025, from 15:00-16:00 CEST via Zoom. This session will cover the application process, offer a submission platform demo, and address any questions.  For more information and to register for the Q&A session, visit the dedicated ECHOES page.  Laura Gusan 8 April 2025

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. Yes, that’s right, using the Trove API in the way that it has been designed and documented is a…

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.   Wednesday, 19 March 2015 14.00 - 15.00 C²DH Open Space, 4th floor Maison des Sciences humaines 19 March 2025 Digital history & historiography Visual and material culture Research seminars Published Hide image in content detail

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.   Tuesday, 11 March 2025 18.00 - 19.30 Halle des poches à fonte (6 Av. des Hauts-Fourneaux, 4362 Esch-Belval Esch-sur-Alzette) Please register for free.   https://www.c2dh.uni.lu/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/zwangsarbeiterbook_cover_full_width_white.jpg?itok=AAoo-bRE Book launch with Inna Ganschow. 11 March 2025 Contemporary history of Luxembourg Soviet “Ostarbeiters” and POW in Luxembourg during WWII Labour history Migration history Outreach Published Hide image in content detail

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…

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.

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.   Wednesday, 19 February 2025 14.00 - 15.00 C²DH Open Space, 4th floor Maison des Sciences humaines, Belval Campus 19 February 2025 Contemporary history of Europe Research seminars Published Hide image in content detail

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.   Details This is a hybrid event.

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.

How can we integrate AI with game-based learning and flipped classroom to create an attractive university course on historical consciousness? ChronoSpace is a project aimed at achieving this goal by developing an AI-assisted mixed-reality cooperative game. Our goal is to enhance student engagement and learning by implicitly motivate and challenge them as players. This presentation will explore the concept and address the challenges associated with designing, developing, and implementing the game. Apostolos Spanos is a professor of History at the University of Agder in Norway. His research and teaching are based on interdisciplinary approaches to history as a discipline and to historical evolution as a phenomenon. His interests lie in historical consciousness, the coinherence of historical times, modeling history, the use of AI in studying and teaching history, the use of games to study the past, and the study of innovation as a mode of historical existence and evolution. He has recently published the book Games of History: Games and Gaming as Historical Sources.   Wednesday, 22 January 2025 17.00 – 18.30 Black Box, Maison des Sciences Humaines, Belval Campus and online     https://www.c2dh.uni.lu/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/c2dh_event_history_at_play_banner_spanos_1380-720pixels.png?itok=vNOszyba Lecture by Apostolos Spanos, University of Agder (Norway), in the History@Play series. 22 January 2025 Public history Artificial intelligence History teaching Media history Conferences Published Hide image in content detail
