The Working Group Digital History explores the potentials of digital methods in historical scholarship and invites researchers and students to work on their projects. During our meetings systems developer Mathias Johansson is available for questions and feedback.

Any and all digital methods are welcome, for example:

Bring your own work – in any stage – and enjoy working in a shared space with other researchers tackling same questions as you.
