Historical Arguments and the Digital 2024 Conference Talk

University of Luxembourg 11 Porte des Sciences, Esch-Belval Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg

Recovering archival specters with digital historical methods How might historians use digital research methods to study archival specters – people who lived, breathed, and made their mark on history, but whose presence in the archives and extant documents remains limited, at best, if not altogether lost? A number of scholars have written cogently and movingly […]

Through close reading, structured notes, and developing a custom, context-specific classification schema, Dr. Ashley Sanders has reconstructed data sets on the governors of Ottoman Algeria (1518-1837) for prosopographical study. This reconstruction aims to avoid recreating imperial ontologies and instead aims to describe these men and women with categories that they themselves would have likely employed.
