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…

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 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.

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. He has previously published on antiquity in video games and is editor of Classical Antiquity in Video Games.

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.

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. I’ve also just about finished another tutori…

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.

I’ve just added a couple of new notebooks to the Trove Newspaper & Gazette Harvester section of the GLAM Workbench. Using the Trove Harvester as a Python package provides a basic example of using the trove-newspaper-harvester Python package. While there’s already a simple web app version of the harvester, I wanted a notebook version running in the JupyterLab interface that I could integrate with other tools and notebooks. All you need to do to harvest all the articles in a Trove newspaper search is paste in your Trove API key and the search query url from the Trove web interface. Reshaping your newspaper harvest provides a slice and dice wonder tool for Trove newspaper harvests, enabling you to repackage OCRd text by decade, year, and newspaper title. It saves the results as zip files, concatenated text files, or CSV files with embedded text. These repackaged slices should suit a variety of text analysis tools and questions. I’ve be thinking about doing something like this for a while, and think it should be quite useful. In my usual way, I started off writing a tutorial for the Trove Data Guide on ways of loading digitised newspaper data into text analysis tools and then realised I needed these notebooks to fill in some gaps in the data processing pipeline. So after a day or two of yak shaving I now have to get back to the tutorial.

Do we play video games or do video games play us? Is nonhuman play a mere paradox or the future of gaming? And what do video games have to do with quantum theory? In the talk based on her book Playing at a Distance (MIT Press 2022), Sonia Fizek will engage with these questions, proposing new ways to think about games and play that decenter the human player and explore a variety of play formats and practices that require surprisingly little human action. Idling in clicker games, wandering in walking simulators, automating gameplay with bots, or simply watching games rather than playing them—Fizek will argue that these seemingly marginal cases are central to understanding how we play in the digital age. 13 June 2024 Sonia Fizek is a media and games scholar. She holds a professorship in Media and Game Studies at the Cologne Game Lab at TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences. Fizek is also a visiting professor at the University of Lower Silesia in Wroclaw (Poland)  and a co-editor-in-chief of the international Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds. In her latest book Playing at a Distance (MIT Press 2022), she explores the borderlands of video game aesthetic with focus on automation, AI and posthuman forms of play. Fizek’s current research concentrates on the environmental aspects of video games. She participates in two international projects: “STRATEGIES – Sustainable Transition for Europe’s Game Industries” (2024-2027), and “Greening Games. Building Higher Education Resources for Sustainable Video Game Production, Design & Critical Game Studies” (2021-2024).   Thursday, 13 June 2024 13:00 – 16:30 Auditorium 3.330 Maison du Savoir, Belval Campus and online   Public history Public History Conferences Published Hide image in content detail

Last week I added a notebook to the GLAM Workbench that saves a collection of images from Trove as an IIIF manifest. This week I’ve written a tutorial that shows how you can use the notebook to load the collection data in Tropy – a desktop tool for managing and annotating images for research. This is the first tutorial in the Trove Data Guide’s Research Pathways section. While most of the TDG documents the types of data available in Trove and how you can access it, the pathways aim to connect Trove data with other tools and platforms – to point at possibilities for analysis, enrichment, and sharing. For example, I’m planning tutorials on packaging OCRd text from Trove for use with text analysis tools, as well as ways of sharing selected data through tools like CollectionBuilder, and Datasette. If you have any ideas for additional tutorials, feel free to add them to the ideas board in GitHub.

The Family of Man was an exhibition of some five hundred photographs from around the world, curated by Edward Steichen for the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1955. After its installation at MoMA, and under the auspices of the United States Information Agency, copies of the exhibition then toured close to fifty countries. By the end of its international tour the exhibition had been seen by almost ten million people, making it the most successful event of the early decades of the cultural Cold War. This paper will consider the international reception of The Family of Man. Taking India and Japan as case studies, it will suggest the ways in which intersection of Steichen’s work and conception with local social and political circumstances inflected and reshaped the meanings of the exhibition.     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).

Digitised resources in Trove are sometimes grouped into collections – an album of photographs, a set of posters, a bundle of letters. I’ve just added a notebook to the GLAM Workbench that downloads all the images in a collection at the highest available resolution. A sample of the 3,048 posters download from nla.obj-2590804313 Why is it necessary? Trove’s digitised collection viewer includes a download option. But in most cases that seems to be limited to downloading 20 images at a time. Part of the reason for that is probably because the images are zipped up into a single file, which could get very large if 100, or 200 images were added. Another limitation of the built-in download option is that the images are often fairly low resolution copies (many have a maximum width of 1000px). The…

'Biographies of Struggle' is a documentary on a drawn-out unrest that took place at the ThyssenKrupp-AST-Terni steelworks in Central Italy in 2014, one of the longest steelworkers’ strike in Italy since the last wave of labour unrest in the ‘80s. Threatened by 550 job cuts and a partial closure, the Terni factory is the framework in which 11 participants express their discordant thoughts and opinions about the ongoing 7-months-long dispute, and 45-days-long strike. Drawing on their biographies and work experiences, the protagonists depict a fragmented portrait of one of the oldest Italian working class communities, while fighting mass layoffs. This documentary is inscribed in an ethnographic research which addresses the ways in which labour activism contributes to the articulation of worki…

Remnants of material and visual cultures throughout history can be traced as millions of museum objects have been, and are, digitised and published online. The metadata of these online museum objects can be used as data to analyse the development of concepts, events or technological and social innovations in history by using information retrieval, quantitative and machine learning methods. They can also be used as primary sources to trace the history of and changes in the representation of concepts or events and their interpretation. How do online museum catalogue data reflect multiple perspectives on specific topics?

In my work on the Trove Data Guide I’ve started sketching out a series of research pathways. These are intended as ways of connecting Trove data to tools and questions – providing examples of the steps involved in gathering, preparing, and using data to explore particular research topics. I’ve currently defined six pathways, roughly based on different types of data that you can get from Trove: Text Images Structured data Maps and places Networks and relationships Creating collections ‘Creating collections’ is a bit different I suppose, as it’s meant to relate to the work of assembling research collections from data in Trove – for example, creating a collection of annotated newspaper articles in Omeka. I have some ideas, of course, about the types of tutorials and examples to include in each pathway, but I’m wondering what you would like to see. What would you like to be able to do with Trove data? You might get some inspiration by browsing through what’s already in the Trove Data Guide and the GLAM Workbench, or perhaps you have a research question that’s foundered because you couldn’t get the data you needed out of Trove. If you have any ideas please share them via the TDG’s ideas board. This is a chance to get some of your gnarly Trove data problems solved! Note that the TDG links in this post go to the development version, which changes frequently. There is also a published version that doesn’t include the latest content.

You probably know that when you select the Download as Image option for a digitised newspaper article in Trove what you get back is not actually an image ­– it’s an HTML document, in which the original image has been sliced up to try and fit on an A4 page when printed. So this article: Ends up looking like this!! So what do you do when you just want an image of an article as it appeared in the newspaper? Some years ago I figured out a workaround that involves scraping the OCR positional data that’s embedded in Trove’s newspaper viewer and cropping the article from a high-resolution image of the page. The method is documented in the GLAM Workbench and the Trove Data Guide, and I’ve packaged up the code in trove-newspapers-images so you can embed it in your own projects. I also created a…

What did the transformation from ‘socialism’ to ‘democracy’ and a market economy entail? When did it begin and did it ever end? The presentation proposes a new temporality of global transformation: It argues that its beginning dates in the mid 1970s, when socialist countries tried to enter the world market in shipbuilding. Of course, the end of state socialism and the subsequent global hegemony of neoliberalism after 1989/91 remain an important watershed, but the paper points to another important caesura, the enlargement of the European Union and of the WTO after the turn of the millennium.  In the empirical part, the presentation will focus on our (the plural form here includes Ulf Brunnbauer in Regensburg, my longterm project partner and co-author of our forthcoming “multograph”) two cas…

I spend a lot of my time trying to highlight the wealth of resources available through Trove – whether that’s 25,000 digitised Parliamentary Papers, 6,000 oral histories you can listen to online, or 3,471 full-page editorial cartoons from The Bulletin. Most recently I’ve been working on digitised periodicals, developing a new section for the Trove Data Guide. But as I was harvesting data about the 900 periodicals and 37,000 issues that had so far been digitised, I wondered about periodicals that were born digital – in particular, those that had been submitted to the National Library by publishers and authors through the National eDeposit Scheme (NED).

Open access in the sciences, a.k.a.

Suite aux travaux de la Commission spéciale pour l'étude des spoliations des biens juifs au Luxembourg pendant les années de guerre 1940-1945 (2001-2009), trois idées dominaient la compréhension de la dépossession des personnes considérées comme juives au Luxembourg pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. La première, reprenant la phrase de Paul Cerf, était de penser qu’il n’y avait « point de Rothschild parmi les juifs luxembourgeois », autrement dit qu’il n’y avait pas de collection d’œuvres d’art parmi cette population. La deuxième était que les bénéficiaires de la dépossession furent les organisations allemandes et leurs soutiens. La troisième était que le montant global de la dépossession pouvait être évalué sur la base de la comptabilité du Chef der Zivilverwaltung, l’administration civile allemande. Par une approche microhistorique et l’étude de deux cas – celui des propriétaires d’œuvres d’art et celui des habitants d’un quartier de la ville d’Esch-sur-Alzette – la thèse remet en question ces idées et ouvre la voie à de nouveaux développements des Holocaust studies sur un territoire jusqu’ici peu étudié.

The Luxembourg steel industry and its main company, ARBED, have undergone a profound transformation since the mid-1970s. Triggered by the economic crisis of 1973, this was characterised by the modernisation and closure of plants, the specialisation of production, international expansion and a far-reaching reduction in the workforce, a process often summarised under the term deindustrialisation. Part of this corporate transformation was the acquisition of the former VEB Maxhütte Unterwellenborn in Thuringia in 1992 and its transformation into a modern and profitable steelworks, making around ninety per cent of the former workers redundant and leading to a delayed but similar process of deindustrialisation. The project examines the history of ARBED between 1973 and 2001, starting from this point of transformation in 1992, and analyses the preconditions and related developments of this takeover, as well as its implications and consequences for ARBED's activities in Thuringia and in Luxembourg. Using a transnational economic history approach, the project aims to analyse the interconnections between processes of deindustrialisation in Western and post-socialist Europe.   Wednesday, 17 April 2024 14.00 - 15.00 C²DH Open Space (4th floor, Maison des Sciences humaines) 17 April 2024 Public history Confronting Decline: Challenges of Deindustrialisation in Western Societies since the 1970s Industrial history Research seminars Published Hide image in content detail

The Trove Periodicals section of the GLAM Workbench has been updated! Some changes were necessary to make use of version 3 of the Trove API, but I’ve also taken the chance to reorganise things a bit – starting with the name. This section used to be called ‘Trove journals’, reflecting the naming of Trove’s ‘Journals’ zone. But zones have gone, and periodicals are now spread across multiple categories, so I thought a name change was necessary to better reflect the type of content being examined. What periodicals have been digitised? It’s surprising difficult to find out what periodicals have actually been digitised in Trove. There’s no straightforward list of titles as there is in the newspapers category. Over the years I’ve created a variety of lists and tools to try and overcome this. I’m …

This year’s forum, “From Exclusion to Inclusion: Creating Responsible and Equitable Information and AI Systems for Digital Cultural Heritage,” is sponsored by the Office of Research and Economic Development Grand Challenges Seed Grant and the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities. Registration is required, and all presentations and events are open to the public. A variety of scholars from around the world will discuss what it would take to develop artificial intelligence systems that manage cultural heritage materials (texts, images, videos and data) while generating new ways to contextualize the information, ask new questions and appreciate different perspectives. A key issue to be addressed in the development of this technology is making sure we are fair and unbiased in how we collect, describe and use these materials, while also teaching scholars how to understand both the technology and the social aspects involved.
