Join Center for Digital History Aarhus and Digital History Seminar for an in-person workshop on Web Archives!
The World Wide Web is more than thirty years old. Over the last three decades, it has altered everything from everyday lives to world politics. However, historians shun the Web in their analyses, and, as a result, contemporary histories continue to ignore this vital source of information. By participating in this two-day seminar, you can help change this.
We invite anyone interested in analysing aspects of the recent past to join us for inspirational talks and hands-on sessions introducing the Web as a source and web archives.
