Online Workshops 4memory: From Books to Bytes: The Digital Transformation in Historical Studies – Learning, Teaching, and Research in the Age of Digitization

From Books to Bytes: The Digital Transformation in Historical Studies – Learning, Teaching, and Research in the Age of Digitization.

The professional handling of data is a virulent topic across the boundaries of all disciplines. NFDI4Memory addresses this in order to (further) develop data literacy in the historical sciences and subjects working in history and to support the community in mastering the digital turn.

The event series „From Books to Bytes“ will start in October 2023 and will regularly present current topics and relevant fields of application in research and teaching with experts, researchers and teachers. It is designed in such a way that after short thematic introductions, participants will have the opportunity to independently engage with the presented content in hands-on sessions. We welcome your participation, both for individual dates and for the entire series of events.

The event will take place digitally at 10 a.m. on the dates listed below.

Download PDF program for the symposium

The Critical Digital Humanities Initiative (CDHI) warmly welcomes you to a virtual half-day symposium on collaborative efforts to ensure the sustainability of digital research. Digital scholarship is firmly established in the research landscape and many digital projects are used extensively with development spanning decades. However, the hurdles researchers confront in ensuring the enduring accessibility and functionality of their digital projects differ significantly from the challenges encountered during the initial creation of innovative digital tools. 

The symposium will be an opportunity to explore the diverse strategies that digital humanities researchers use to ensure the lasting sustainability of their projects. We will explore inventive collaborations within the digital humanities community and spotlight approaches through which researchers in North America, the UK, and Europe have navigated the complexities of redesigning their projects for sustained accessibility and functionality in digital research.
