Nanette Rissler-Pipka#dariah2026 last session of the conference going on #ai #llm #infrastructure - it might be the heat but I find it increasingly irritating that the underlining common ground is to agree on the so-called assistance of research and #DigitalHumanities via #ai - it reminds me of early days when we were discussing #distantreading : Analysing thousands of books only takes seconds. Now, all problems of format transformation, annotations, data cleaning and modeling are solved in seconds by #ai ? Really?
#dariah2026 Today is the last day of the conference and I managed to catch a bus in #roma despite the national strike going on in Italy. Let's see how many people make it to the venue today... Crossing the Tiber now
#dariah2026 very nice workflow presented by the colleagues from Bologna university Katarina Luฤiฤ, Adriana Iezzi about "Preserving Cultural Heritage through a Digital Archive" also in collaboration with the Finnish https://seco.cs.aalto.fi/tools/sampo-ui/ which was presented the other day.
Monika BargetThe #Dariah2026 keynote lecture by Andreas Fickers addresses the challenges of a #UI design in #digitalarchives that unduly hides complexity and forces different perspectives into one unified corpus:

The keynote of #DARIAH2026 has kicked off!
"Multimodality as a means for multivocality? Transmedia storytelling and the challenges of shared authority in digital public humanities" by Andreas Fickers, director of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (CยฒDH), 3rd Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Luxembourg and head of its Digital History Lab.
Our #Dariah2026 presentation on "Digital Archives as a Public Good" is already available on Zenodo:
https://zenodo.org/records/20347224
Our slides outline how we built the #Letters1916 collection as a community-driven digital archive that also engaged volunteers in transcription and data exploration. This project would not have been successful as an online-only endeavour but needed physical events for different audiences, including older women in rural areas.
Digital Archives as a Public Good: The Letters 1916-1923 Project
How can digital archives help societies confront contested pasts without merely replicating traditional historiography? Designing participatory digital commons can be a way to transcend the concept of digital archives as static repositories but make them sites of active, multi-voiced memory. Ideally, digital archives also challenge dominant interpretation frameworks and offer an important counterpoint to extractive (social media) platforms. Our paper explores how the Irish Letters 1916-1923 project, through its infrastructure and ethos, can serve as a model for participatory knowledge infrastructures.
