“Bring your history day”
Since with the reformation in 2007/2009 the person records in the Federal Republic of Germany have been declared to be archive material, archives open up increasingly to genealogical research which in turn has started to change for its part. It´s obvious: The interest in historic family roots keeps increasing noticeably in the German speaking areas. Parallel to this development, the digital services keep expanding gradually, making the search for ancestors much easier. Now though, the public archives have to face increasing expectations and requirements and have to figure out for themselves if they recognize these new developments as burden or rather as chance and future-oriented perspective.
Since 2010/2011, the Hessian State Archives Marburg has been pursuing a new direction organizationally and technically. Now, the archive kindly invites within the frameworks of the EU-funded project “co:op” to this workshop in order to discuss current results of the new direction. The work accomplished up to now did not just result in the aspired “output”; it even more importantly has lead to inspiring and innovative developments and visions – discussing these with a competent audience is the goal of this workshop.
Here you can find the detailed programme (in German).
Registration is kindly requested.

2nd International Symposium
The international symposium on Digital Humanities: Empowering Visibility of Croatian Cultural Heritage is the continuation of the 1st symposium held in October 2016 under the title Creative Potential of Glagolitic Heritage. These symposiums are part of the scientific activities related to the project digitization, bibliographic description and research of texts written in Glagolitic, Croatian Cyrillic and Latin scripts until the end of the 19th century in the Zadar and Šibenik area. Since the project is mainly focused on the digitization of Glagolitic heritage, and therefore a large number of topics related to Glagolism is expected, the symposium is included in the year of the Glagolitic Script declared by the Zadar County.
The purpose of the symposium is to cover topics from the areas defining and questioning digital humanities as a new science, as well as the description, research and access to cultural heritage in the digital environment, national and local guidelines and documents related to the digitization of cultural heritage, creative usage of cultural heritage, cultural tourism and including the community into the research of cultural heritage. Particular emphasis is placed on the presentation of methods and research results of cultural heritage, especially written heritage, namely manuscripts and old books and its fragments and watermarks, but also the research in archeology, underwater archeology, art history, linguistics, classical philology, philology, applied arts, etc.
In the context of reflection on the future of research in the field of humanities, starting from the tradition which the University of Zadar nurtures in the field of humanities, the aim of this Symposium is to present research methods and tools from as many fields and branches of the humanities, but also other fields, in order to identify the main research approaches, areas of cooperation within the humanities and other fields, and start a discussion about the need to develop an institutional or cross-institutional center for digital humanities at the University of Zadar.
