Originally from Vienna, Austria, the Thuna family escaped to Luxembourg following the Anschluss of Austria to the German Reich in 1938. During their two-year stay in Luxembourg, they were supported by the Jewish ESRA Committee and resided in the Hotel Select. Despite efforts to obtain entry visas for countries in South America, they remained in Luxembourg until the invasion of German troops in May 1940, from where they embarked on a disrupted transport to Lisbon in November 1940, which eventually took them to France. In 1942, Hans Thuna was deported to Auschwitz via Drancy.

Inégalement préservés, les RSN entrent dans les enjeux d’archivage du web de manière plus ou moins précoce. La Bibliothèque nationale de France [BnF] a archivé Dailymotion entre 2007 et 2013, Twitter depuis 2012 et YouTube à partir de 2017. L’Institut national de l’audiovisuel [Ina] archive YouTube et Vimeo depuis 2009-2010 et Twitter depuis 2014. Si toutes les plateformes ne bénéficient pas encore d’une activité de captures régulières, de nouveaux projets de collecte améliorent la couverture. Ainsi la BnF gère des collectes Instagram depuis 2020 et TikTok depuis 2022.

The history of the French-Luxembourgish border has been marked by the rapid growth of the iron and steel industry and the massive influx of immigrants coming to work in this cross-border industrial region. Employing a microhistorical lens and a relational approach, this doctoral research explores how border regimes were transgressed by everyday smuggling or subverted by Italian communist networks in the interwar years.

This poster delves into the intricate interplay between global expectations for research in contemporary history, the evolving landscape of digital curation, the imperative for efficient research data management, the creation of a well-structured and effective plan for digital infrastructure by emphasizing the significance of developing a comprehensive framework for the analysis and interpretation of contemporary history.

Taking Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium as a starting point for a conversation about the epistemic virtues in the Digital Humanities, Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever discuss a rejection of the normative tradition of honing an ideal-typical definition of what makes “good science” in favor of an exploration in the phenomenological descriptive tradition of epistemic norms (values) as internalized by scientists. They reflect on the six epistemic virtues that could be instrumental in prompting

In the fall of 1940, the Chef der Zivilveraltung demanded that each person considered Jewish and still present in Luxembourg declare all their assets on forms designed for this purpose: the Verzeichnisse über das Vermögen von Juden (declarations of Jewish assets).

The Bridge Forum Dialogue and The Robert Triffin Lecture 2024, titled "The evolution of Europe’s financial response to challenges: what should come next?" was organised by The Bridge Forum Dialogue and the Europe Direct at the University of Luxembourg (ED-UNILU) together with their partners – the University of Luxembourg (Uni.lu), Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), the European Parliament (EP) and the Robert Triffin International Foundation (RTI).

The rise of public history is the result of an unfolding technological-epistemological transformation. Gradual changes in media technologies, historiography, museology and museography until well into the 1970s can be considered as a pre-history of public history. During the last third of the twentieth century the rise of memory and related historiographical changes went hand in hand with an increased influence of analogue and digital media that impacted communication, documentation and preservation.

Cette contribution emprunte les outils de la microhistoire et de l’histoire par le bas pour interroger l’expérience d’un individu confronté aux institutions de prise en charge des personnes vulnérables et à la marge dans la Belgique du XXème siècle. Par l’examen d’un corpus d’archives jusque-là inexploitées dans une recherche scientifique, cet article retrace ainsi le parcours de vie sur

This chapter explores the evolving landscape of web archiving. It considers how web archives document challenging times, may help to analyse them, and respond to events, disruptions, social demands, and crises. It examines emergency response practices and research trends. The chapter also addresses current and forthcoming challenges such as adapting to platformization, AI, the closure of APIs, and evolving legal frameworks.

This project will conceptualize and implement a multi-lingual Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in 2023 and 2024 in order to train European journalism students in EU coverage. To this end, a consortium of seven journalism institutes from EU universities (in alphabetic order: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Poland, Portugal, and Romania) has teamed up with the European Journalism Training Association (EJTA). Established in Brussels in 1990, EJTA groups about 80 journalism centers, schools and universities from about 30 countries across Europe.

Semantically enriched historical newspapers offer a multitude of opportunities for data-driven exploration and analysis. In this paper we introduce the impresso interface which integrates several types of semantic enrichments and data visualization and thereby supports new exploratory workflows and the critical assessment of large-scale digitized source collections. The interface targets historians and integrates search, filtering, comparison, and recommendation based on automatically detected topics, linked named entities, text reuse, n-grams, image similarity, language, and OCR quality.
