Nach dem die #dariah2026 Konferenz zu Ende ist, geht es für mich noch ein paar Tage weiter mit der Arbeit im schönen #Roma . Mit meinen #datasteward Kollegen, Jan-Peter Grünewälder und Jörg Hörnschemeyer legen wir letzte Hand an, um Forschende der @MaxWeberStiftung im #rdm Thema abzuholen - stay tuned für den Launch unseres kleinen Blogs... Nebenbei eine kleine Führung durch die Bibliothek erhalten 🤓

That's a wrap on #DARIAH2026!

The venue for #DARIAH2027 will be..... Aranjuez, Spain! 🇪🇸

Thank you to all who made this year possible 💙

#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 Lučić, 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.

The #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 (C²DH), 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.
