Interview Lauren Rever – Soundscapes of Digital History Lauren Rever, a public historian and fellow for digital history at the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C. in 2024/2025, initially engaged with digital history in the context of her dissertation, which involved the mapping of school students' field trips to Washington, D.C. As a public historian with extensive experience in museum work, she discusses the distinctions and parallels the approaches to digital and public history. Additionally, she emphasizes the challenges encountered by researchers with non-digital backgrounds in adapting to the field of digital history and the discernment of appropriate application of digital competencies. Lauren also draws attention to the absence of digital training in many humanities study programs.

Original post on digitalcourage.social

Dear #bash and history nerds, I am iterating over dates with `$date` (or rather `$gdate` on macOS) and get a weird error. Whenever I want to iterate over a range including April 1st, 1893, `$date` claims that 1893-04-01 is an invalid date. Is this a kind of Easter egg? A fool’s day’s joke? No […]

Interview Christiane Sibille – Soundscapes of Digital History Christiane Sibille bietet einen Überblick über die Schweizer Landschaft der Digital History, die von Mehrsprachigkeit, internationaler Orientierung und einer dichten Vernetzung geprägt ist. Ihre eigene Auseinandersetzung mit digitalen Methoden begann im Kontext globalgeschichtlicher Forschung. Sie betont die Neugier und Experimentierfreude, die das Feld auszeichnen. Institutionell stützt sich die Community auf den traditionsreichen Verein "Geschichte und Informatik", das "Digital History Network" sowie die Beteiligung an europäischen Infrastrukturen wie DARIAH. Historische Impulse lieferten frühe Digitalisierungsprojekte, digitale Editionen und Bloginitiativen. Als aktuelle Herausforderungen nennt Sibille die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit generativer KI, die Schaffung von Kooperationsräumen zwischen Forschung und Gedächtnisinstitutionen sowie den Ausbau der Infrastruktur, wobei sie Entwicklungen in Deutschland als Vorbild hervorhebt.

📣 Out now: Neue Folge der #Soundscapes of #DigitalHistory 🎧

Für die aktuelle Folge sprachen wir mit Christiane Sibille von der Fachstelle Digital Scholarship Services der ETH-Bibliothek in Zürich.

Sorry, guys, its not us, the pioneers:

"This essay is neither a commentary nor a critique. It is rather a survey of developments in the pioneering phase of computerized history that is now coming to an end." Robert P. Swierenga, 1970

Mother Wave (1998) 🌊

Long before the blockchain, there was the wave. This early internet relic from 1998 is now preserved at The Feminist Institute, NYC. 🏛️

A piece of Feminist Spiritual Surrealism. A digital oceanic myth born in the dial-up era.

Proud to see these roots finally finding their home onchain.

The Immutable Truth Why History Needs a New Kind of Library

We used to preserve history on microfilm so it couldn’t be changed. Today, I’ve built an automated, decentralized system that does the same—forever and at global scale. Preservation matters more than ever.

Shawn Graham (@electricarchaeo@scholar.social) I wanted a static site generator built around scrollytelling data stories for my history / digital archaeology students. Behold, Polybius: https://shawngraham.github.io/polybius/ Still fiddling with things (and yes, used claude to solve my stupid syntax issues). #dh #histodons Resulting static site is one-paged html & a json file.
