This is the book of abstracts of the workshop History of Digital History between East and West, which is held on 5-6 February 2026 at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) of the University of Luxembourg. The workshop is jointly organised by Gerben Zaagsma (University of Luxembourg), Marek Tamm (Tallinn University), Julianne Nyhan (Technische Universität Darmstadt and University College London), Petri Paju (University of Turku), Sune Bechmann Pedersen (Stockholm University) and Nadezhda Povroznik (Technische Universität Darmstadt). Workshop description In histories of digital history, as in digital humanities in general, much emphasis has been placed on the two commonly recognized centers of the development of historical computing since the 1950s: the United States and Western Europe. As a result, crucial developments elsewhere have been overlooked, including in the Nordic countries as well as the Soviet Union and the various states of the Eastern bloc. The consequence of this omission is not merely a lack of knowledge about specific countries and a skewed understanding of digital history’s manifold early trajectories. It also creates epistemological blind spots regarding the political dimensions of the development of early historical computing and, given the latter’s networked nature within a general context of ‘East-West’ scholarly exchange in the Cold War period, obscures the transnational dimensions of the early history of digital history. This workshop will address these blind spots by focusing attention on the question of how the local and the transnational intersected in the technology-inflected reshaping of historical research practices and how political backgrounds, contexts and constraints fed into this process.
Wie vermittelt man Theorie eigentlich in der Digital-Humanities-Lehre? Was sollte man kennen?
Wir von der AG #DHTheorie haben dazu ein Starterkit entwickelt, das Studierenden und Lehrenden unterstützen soll.
Drei Module haben wir bereits veröffentlicht: https://zenodo.org/communities/dhd-ag-dh-theorie/records?q=&f=subject%3AStarterkit%20DH%20Theorie&l=list&p=1&s=10&sort=newest
Wenn euch noch ein Modul fehlt oder ihr Ideen habt, könnt ihr euch gerne beteiligen! Hier findet ihr den Call for Modules: https://dhtheorien.hypotheses.org/2223
Schreibt uns! Wir freuen uns 🙂

This workshop will address the history of digital history by enlarging the scope outside of the United States and Western Europe, taking into account crucial developments elsewhere which have often been overlooked.

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

This is of historical interest on so many levels.
When the notion of AI first appeared, chess was considered the epitome of intelligence (before that it was calculating)—which, of course, it isn’t. Now AI is all about pattern recognition, which certainly covers more of what we associate with human intelligence, but go figure, it’s not *just* pattern recognition either. ⇢
