👑Fürstin des Monats: Herzogin Philippine Charlotte (1716–1801)
Als Schwester Friedrichs des Großen und Herzogin von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel war Philippine Charlotte eine wichtige Akteurin der Aufklärung. Bildung, Bücher und der Austausch mit Gelehrten prägten ihr Wirken. Ihrer private Bibliothek ist noch heute ein wichtiger Einblick in fürstliche Wissenskulturen des 18. Jahrhunderts.

'Modelling and recording traditional humanities data sets in such a way that they can be read by both humans and machines.' Steven Hayes 01.01.2010 #DigitalHumanities #WhatIsDH
'Digital Humanities for me is what happens when we plug humanities into computationally powered amps, and an audience that was expecting the comforts of communal affirmation has to decide whether or not to pick up new instruments and to experiment and push the limits.' Katherine Pandora 01.01.2014 #DigitalHumanities #WhatIsDH
A small Friday-evening project came to fruition. Analysing data on the dimensions of Arabic periodicals from #Wikidata, a quick and simple plot allows for a number of observations: Firstly, newspapers and magazines are of different sizes and the former tend to be significantly larger than the latter. This bestows confidence on our data set. Misclassification is seemingly rare, particularly for magazines. Secondly, the size of magazines is quite stable at around 24cm with a slight tendency towards larger heights in the 1920s. Thirdly, newspapers are of a much less consistent size with the majority of observations falling into the mid-thirties.

Chères et chers collègues,
Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la publication du numéro 12 de la revue Humanités numériques :
https://journals.openedition.org/revuehn/5273
Comme l’indique le début de son éditorial, ce douzième numéro est constitué d’articles variés, tant du point de vue des traditions disciplinaires que de leurs objets. Nous vous proposons donc de naviguer entre ChatGPT et les approches RAG, l’analyse de réseaux et les outils numériques d’analyse quantitative, la reconnaissance automatique de texte pour les manuscrits de l’époque moderne et le débit de parole au théâtre, la géoarchéologie et la phylogénie des langues. Cette stimulante diversité permet à la revue d’assumer son rôle de creuset : nous invitons les lecteurs et lectrices à y trouver les matériaux qui leur seront utiles, les synthèses qui satisferont leur curiosité, les façons de faire qui les surprendront.

'The span of activities between digitizing the humanities and humanizing the digital.' Chiara T. Ricciardone 01.01.2014 #DigitalHumanities #WhatIsDH
Die Humanities müssen eigene theoretische und normative Positionen zu KI entwickeln, um Gestaltungsmacht, Kritikfähigkeit und gesellschaftliche Relevanz zu behalten.
Der Call for Papers „Humanity(ies) in the age of AI“ (Biblos, Universität Coimbra) ruft dazu auf, die Auswirkungen von KI auf Mensch, Geisteswissenschaften und Gesellschaft systematisch zu analysieren.
Einreichungsfrist: 15. April 2026

'The creative application of digital technology to humanities questions and data' Ethan Watrall 01.01.2014 #DigitalHumanities #WhatIsDH
Looking back exactly one year ago, a certain part of the #Fediverse was involved with crucial data rescue operations. This was because the political data cleansing in the US started to unfold and a group of dedicated people chose to form a guerilla data rescue collective, which we now know as @SafeguardingResearch and #SciOp.
Today, I took the opportunity to take a look back at 2025's events while also covering present and future developments of this movement in the form of a lecture and hands-on within my #LIS studies course on e-Publishing.
It was such a relief to once again talk about positive movements in those dark times utilizing decentralized technologies for social impact, and to pay tribute to the marginalized groups who are keeping up their fights every day.
In the discussion afterwards, among Master students of Library and Information Sciences (most of us do also already work in libraries) we talked about how one can publish scientific works in order to prevent getting taken down due to ideological data cleansing.
We all agreed up on that FAIR #OpenAccess should be mandatory for all publications. I proposed a three-way approach for actually storing the publication data simultaneously: 1. on a repository of a trustworthy organization, 2. on a (own) publicly accessable website, and 3. on a repository powered by decentralized technologies of ones choice. I reflected up on a thread I read here back in April 2025, where among others @jonny and @nichtich had talked about this topic: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/114310419885059486. Another take-away was to publish files as raw as possible, e.g. in plain text, Markdown or HTML. In addition to that, I would add that files (and metadata) should be stored tamper-resistant to ensure data integrity, and PDF files should be PDF/A of that kind that #DigiPres organizations currently recommend to be at least a bit more future-proof.
To take myself for an example, back a couple of years ago, starting with my bachelor thesis, I began to mirror all my publications to the decentralized storage network #IPFS, which also gives me data integrity and tamper resistance by content-addressing. Depending on the type of work I do also upload my stuff to my own website or Zenodo. I at least dual-store my work in raw text and PDF. The first setting or config I adjust with my word processing software is the PDF/A export setting, so that it will save files to PDF/A per default.
