Data

For as long as new preservation technologies and computing machines have been developed, the question of their utility and uptake in historical research practices has been debated. Yet, the very fact that historical knowledge production has always been affected by new and emerging technologies is often forgotten. Similarly, the fact that key epistemological and methodological questions in what we now call ‘digital history’ were already debated decades ago by earlier generations of computing historians (analogue and digital) is often overlooked.

Honnerte vu jonke Meedercher aus der fréierer Sowjetunioun ware wärend dem Zweete Weltkrich vun Nazi-Däitschland gezwonge ginn, a Lëtzebuerger Betriber ze schaffen.

This talk deals with a question that is becoming increasingly important for historians who work with digitised cultural heritage: what are the politics of digitisation and what are its implications for historical research?

Préfigurée par la Déclaration que Robert Schuman prononce le 9 mai 1950, la Communauté européenne du Charbon et de l’Acier (CECA) devient réalité le 18 avril 1951, lorsque les représentants de six États fondateurs – Allemagne, Belgique, France, Italie, Luxembourg et Pays-Bas – concluent, pour une durée de 50 ans, le traité de Paris.

In her lecture, Inna Ganschow presents the conditions that made it possible for almost 4,000 Soviet women to be abducted to Luxembourg during the Second World War. In addition to the working and living conditions of the so-called Eastern workers and prisoners of war, the focus of the evening is also on relations with the Luxembourg civilian population. It also deals with the forced returns to the Soviet Union and the fate of those affected after the war.

The pattern of a knowledge-based society relies to a large extent on digital technologies and intangible outputs and generate considerable transnational financial flows and gains. These technologies also play a key role in providing free access to data and information, encouraging citizen participation in public decision-making, fostering transparency and scrutiny of government action and mobilising new players capable of identifying alternative means of civic and political participation worldwide.

L’avis X25, adopté en 1976 par le Comité consultatif international téléphonique et télégraphique (CCITT) dans le domaine des réseaux de données permet d’explorer des enjeux nationaux et internationaux de normalisation. Son histoire témoigne de la convergence entre télécommunications et informatique dans les années 1970, des débats liés au développement des réseaux de données, en particulier autour de la commutation de paquets, mais aussi de choix techniques, industriels et politiques complexes, et ce à plusieurs échelles.

This article considers how the development, promotion and adoption of a set of core values for web archives, linked to principles of “good governance”, will help them to tackle the challenges of sustainability, accountability and inclusiveness that are central to their long-term societal and cultural worth. It outlines the work that has already been done to address these questions, as web archiving begins to move out of its establishment phase, and then discusses seven key principles of good governance
