Reading historical sources in the digital age

DHLU Symposium 2013

*  *  *

Published on Wednesday, November 20, 2013

Summary

This third edition of Digital Humanities Luxembourg will focus on the various ways in which online sources are used by humanities researchers, particularly contemporary historians and more specifically specialists in European integration. The Symposium will be structured around the following research clusters: "Data retrieval, analysis and visualization’’, "Community reading’’ and "Writing history & Assessing scholarship’’.

Announcement

The Centre Virtuel de la Connaissance sur l’Europe (CVCE), together with the Jean Monnet Chair in History of European Integration (University of Luxembourg, FLSHASE) and its research programme ‘Digital Humanities Luxembourg’ — DIHULUX (research unit Identités-Politiques-Sociétés-Espaces (IPSE)) — and the University of Luxembourg’s Master’s in Contemporary European History, are pleased to organise the DHLU Symposium 2013.

After the inaugural DHLU Symposium in 2009 that focused on ‘Contemporary history in the digital age’ and a second edition which tackled the methodological and theoretical implications of considering websites as primary sources (March 2012), this third edition will focus on the use of online thematic research corpora.

Given that more and more sources for contemporary history are being made available online as digital research corpora — as on the CVCE’s site — and following on from the first two editions which examined the methods used to develop these sources, this third edition of Digital Humanities Luxembourg will focus on the various ways in which this material is used by humanities researchers, particularly contemporary historians and more specifically specialists in European integration.
