A collection of thematic ePublications on the European integration process from 1945 to 2014. An analysis of a range of subjects based on an extensive and contextualised selection of more than 25.000 relevant and enriched multimedia, multisource and multilingual documentary resources.

This paper builds upon my recent article Digital History and the Politics of Digitisation and addresses the question of how European minority heritage fares in the digital age by taking the transnational case of Yiddish as an example.

This programma?c paper departs from the premise that new technologies, whether analog, digital, or both, have long been applied to the various steps that make up the historical research process. It argues that the ques?on of how to frame a history of digital history can thus not be reduced to the ques?on of when digital electronic compu?ng entered historical research, an oGen implicitly assumed star?ng point.

Avoir « le plaisir de rouler en musique » en utilisant un autoradio est encore peu courant en France lorsque Philips lance ce slogan publicitaire en 1958. La plupart des Français n’ont même pas encore « le plaisir de rouler », car seul un faible pourcentage de ménages possède une voiture. Mais au cours des deux décennies suivantes, cette situation change de manière significative tandis que le taux de possession d’autoradios augmente également. Cette présentation vise à examiner l’introduction de l’autoradio dans la société française

This chapter analyses the historical development of Luxembourg's economy from a comparative perspective (with other EU Member States) and from a geopolitical outlook (with regard to the world's smaller States), and then highlights its strengths and weaknesses in the dual context of globalisation and polycrisis. The conclusions take a forward-looking approach at the main challenges facing Luxembourg's economy.

This talk was part of a special panel entitled "Histories of Digital History: An Integral Part of the History of the Humanities?". See the abstract below: This panel seeks to engage the manifold histories of digital history set within the broader context of how new technologies have shaped historical research practices and knowledge production since at least the late 19th century. It aims to frame this investigation as an integral part of the history of the humanities and historiography, as well as the history of knowledge more generally.

Ce panel souhaite explorer l’évolution du patrimoine et de l’histoire des codes, que ce soit sous l’influence de la préservation des codes source ou encore d’un renouvellement historiographique porté entre autres par les Critical Code Studies. Les initiatives de la fondation Software Heritage depuis 2016 de préservation mais aussi valorisation des codes comme patrimoine, de même que les travaux en cours dans le champ historique témoignent de ce renouveau qui fait suite aux travaux de Nathan Ensmenger, Martin Campbell-Kelly et bien d’autres.

Cet article s’intéresse à l’impact de formes d’intelligence artificielle (IA) sur trois aspects de la pratique de l’histoire : découverte et lecture de sources primaires, interprétation puis écriture et diffusion de la recherche. Des corpus de sources sont collectés, rassemblés et traités avec des algorithmes liés à l’apprentissage machine (machine learning) ; la production de sources est modifiée par le développement des grands modèles de langage (LLM) donnant à voir des documents plausibles plutôt que véridiques ou authentiques, invitant à réfléchir au futur de la critique historienne.

1967 was a year that saw the public debut of a fundamental technological innovation in Germany and France: Starting from the 25th of August and the 1st of October respectively, emissions in color were regularly diffused on national television. From this point onwards, consumer could see a steadily increasing number of programs in color, advertisers were able to present products in televised commercials in a different way, and the consumer electronics industry was provided with a new business opportunity.

The role of CD-ROMs has often been underestimated in the journey towards digitization and media convergence (Jenkins, 2006) by the current state of the art (Schafer, 2022), leading to limited exploration (although we may mention some analysis in game studies, like Therrien, 2019, as well as in the field of cultural heritage, i.e, Lavigne, 2005).

This presentation aimed to highlight new and future challenges in the history of technology (related to new "values", topics, missing narratives, digital and public history...)

In recent years, the critical turn in digital humanities has sparked numerous discussions about digital literacy in the discipline of history. While critical work has focused on data, tools, and the skills that historians need in the current digital age, questions remain about the broader contours of digital literacy and the multiple meanings that could be attributed to it.

At the intersection of Digital History, History of the Digital, and Public History, this panel, organised and moderated by Valérie Schafer and consisting of four presentations, aims to explore the connections between public history and web history. It particularly delves into issues related to memories, legacies, as well as the intertwining of individual and collective experiences that shape the early days of the Web and contemporary practices.

After the Second World War, as Luxembourg abandoned its neutrality and engaged in international multilateralism and European integration, it adopted a new foreign policy that enabled women to embark on careers related to international relations, as Members of the European Parliament, of the Commission, or as technocrats and experts.
