HDSM contributes to the Workshop “History of Digital History between East and West”

The workshop is co‑organised by the HDSM Team in close collaboration with academic partners from several universities (see below for further details).

20.02.2026

The workshop addresses blind spots in the histories of digital history by incorporating narratives from the Nordic countries, the Soviet Union, and countries of the Eastern Bloc. It aims to fill gaps created by an overemphasis on the United States and Western Europe. The core question is 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.
