In the presentation were compared two metadata sets collected within two research projects in the different years and for different purposes of the University of Saar, Germany (MultiLing) and C2DH, Luxembourg (U-CORE). Both sets contain data to the project participants with Ukrainian language knowledge. The aim of the presented analysis was to compare the available and comparable data and see, how the foreign language knowledge of the project participants impacted their migration behaviour before the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine in 2022 and after that.

This article explores the history and genealogies 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 nineteenth century. For over a century, historians have reflected on the impact of mechanical aids and computing on their discipline. Along the way, they have debated key epistemological and methodological questions that have resurfaced in our current era of digital history, yet this is often forgotten.

This Memory Studies Review special issue explores the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence (ai) and collective memory. In the one hand, the emergence of generative ai, exemplified by ChatGPT’s 2022 release, appears to herald a new infrastructure for collective memory. On the other, the memory studies work highlights the limits and the backlashes of this new form of memory in its social dimension. This leads to raise a provocative, open-ended question: Is artificial intelligence the future of collective memory?

En revenant sur des études de cas appuyées sur de vastes corpus d’archives du web et des réseaux socio-numériques, dédiés d’une part à la viralité en ligne et d’autre part à la crise de la COVID-19, il s’agira d’interroger la manière dont les archives du web, croisées à d’autres sources, peuvent permettre de reconstruire des cultures numériques et leur évolution ou/et d’informer des phénomènes contemporains. Nous présenterons les atouts et limites de la lecture proche et distante de tels corpus composites et parfois transnationaux.

Women from all horizons played a crucial role in the post-war European project, including democratic transitions in Central and Eastern Europe and EU Eastern enlargement. However, their impact remained under-explored, even if recent shifts in historical practice have led to a reinsertion of women in a wide-range of disciplines.

The presentation will offer a broad overview of the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) founded in 1983 and will explore its wide range of multilingual, multimedia sources and archives for both researchers and the general public, while also analysing the current interdisciplinary challenges, historiographical issues and innovative practices which it is facing in the digital age.

In the process towards European economic and monetary union, two reports played crucial roles. The 1970 Werner Report argued for both a supranational monetary pillar and a supranational economic pillar, while the 1989 Delors Report focused on the monetary pillar, and there was scepticism about discretionary fiscal policy.

On 1 May 2004, with the accession of 10 candidate countries (Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), the European Union (EU) not only marked the biggest enlargement in its history, but also opened up for the first time to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which had embarked on the transition to freedom, democracy and a market economy after long decades of communist and dictatorial regimes. On 26 April 2005, Bulgaria and Romania have also been included in this process.

In 2015, Francesca Musiani, Marguerite Borelli and I co-authored an article on the governance of web archives. Nearly a decade later, the landscape of web archiving has undergone significant transformations. The actors, values, infrastructures and methods have evolved, regarding for instance participation, inclusiveness, openness and stakeholder relationships.
