Archives

Wéi ëmmer wann een sech d’Méi mecht, amplaz dat ofzeschreiwen wat zënter Generatiounen vun engem Geschichtsbuch an dat nächst kopéiert gëtt, sech mat de primären Archivquellen auserneenzesetzen, entdeckt een komplex an oft vergiessen historesch Realitéiten. Dat weist eng Ausstellung iwwer Diddeleng am Eischte Weltkrich. Dozou eng Chronik vum oder besser gesot vun zwee Zäithistoriker.

From 19 to 23 February 2018, the C²DH welcomed students in the first year of their master’s degree in history for the third edition of the winter school in digital history. This year, the winter school focused on the creation of a digital archival collection from scratch.

L’histoire migratoire de la ville de Dudelange en cours de guerre est le thème de l’exposition «Être d’ailleurs en temps de guerre (14-18). Étrangers à Dudelange / Dudelangeois à l’étranger» organisée conjointement par le Centre de Documentation sur les Migrations Humaines (CDMH) et le C²DH.

Résultat d’un partenariat entre le Centre de Documentation sur les Migrations Humaines (CDMH) et le Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), cette exposition se propose de scruter la dimension migratoire de Dudelange au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale en s’intéressant aux trajectoires de celles ou ceux qui quittent la cité tout comme de celles ou ceux qui y arrivent ou restent.

This is a story about how a lesson on Digital Source Criticism for bachelor students of history who had to sort out how Youtube works, led to the retrieval of a series of animations on the History of Luxembourg. Thanks to the company Kiwi Media, the ‘digital orphans’ have found a new stage on Youtube.

In this essay, I would like to reflect upon what happens when archival material and research are transferred into the three-dimensional physical space of a museum. A main focus will be on what happens when restored, digitised and partly retouched glass plates are framed and staged in a museum setting.

The history of archives and archiving practices needs to be seen as closely related to trends and fashions in historical research, its methodological underpinnings and its definitions of culture.

When the first ForumZ with the topic Archives for the digital era, organized by the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), took place on 11 February, many interested people found their way to the Casino – Forum d’art contemporain in Luxembourg City on that Saturday morning. Thanks to the hashtags #ForumZLu and #archivesforthefuture, they could also actively participate in the debates over the Twittersphere.

The ForumZ series started with an event on “Archives for the digital age. Challenges and opportunities” at the Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain.
