Across Europe, there has been much focus on digitizing historical collections and on developing digital tools to take advantage of those collections. What has been lacking, however, is a discussion of how the research results provided by such tools should be used as a part of historical research projects. Although many developers have solicited input from researchers, discussion between historians has been thus far limited.

The workshop seeks to explore how results of digital research should be used in historical research and to address questions about the validity of digitally mined evidence and its interpretation. In order to stimulate discussion on this subject we seek contributions that discuss how researchers can ensure the relevance of digitally mined evidence to larger historical questions and/or how digital history projects might be better integrated into the field of ‘traditional’ history scholarship. Thus we are not looking for discussions of the way that particular digital tools work, or how to visualize digitally produced data, but for discussions of how to effectively combine digital methods with established historical methods. Some discussion of methods is undoubtedly necessary, but each paper’s focus should be on the analysis and use of results rather than solely on methods of text mining.

This two-day workshop is organized by the HERA funded project: Asymmetrical Encounters: Digital Humanities Approaches to Reference Cultures in Europe 1815-1992. (http://asymenc.wp.hum.uu.nl/). It will include a public keynote address by Professor Jane Winters, Professor of Digital History at the Institute for Historical Research, University of London.

If you would like to attend the workshop, please kindly email Maarten van den Bos by 8 September 2015: m.j.a.vandenbos@uu.nl. A conference fee of 30 Euros (incl. lunch, coffee, drinks) or 60 Euros (incl. diner) can be payed at the workshop. Attendance of the lecture by Jane Winters is free of charge.
