On 24-25 March, the C\u00b2DH welcomed archivists and digital humanists to discuss collections informing the history of cross-border cooperation in the Greater Region.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working on the history of cross-border cooperation in the Great Region implies consulting a multitude of archives in several countries and in different languages. The difficulty lies, in addition, in the lack of visibility of such cooperation within archival collections, often catalogued under more general categories such as \u201cinternational relations\u201d or \u201ceconomy\u201d. This workshop, organised by Machteld Venken<\/a>, Christoph Br\u00fcll<\/a> and E<\/a>stelle Bunout<\/a> aimed at bringing together practitioners of preservation and researchers to exchange on their respective understanding of what this field encompasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants represented the diversity of the potential sources that could feed research on the history of cross-border cooperation, with guests from the Historical Archives of the European Union, the Literaturarchiv Saar-Lor-Lux-Elsass<\/em>, the Historical Archives of the European Parliament, the National Archives of Luxembourg, the Archives of the city of Differdange, the Archives du Service Public F\u00e9d\u00e9ral Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res<\/em> of Belgium, the Belgian State Archives in Eupen, and the organisation \u201cles Frontaliers Grand Est<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on their experience producing a guide for the digital archival collections of Eastern European Dissidence (COURAGE (\u201cCultural Opposition \u2013 Understanding the CultuRal HeritAGE of Dissent in the Former Socialist Countries<\/a>\u201d), guests experts Jessie Labov from the Central European University (CEU) and Tam\u00e1s Scheibner from the E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University of Budapest (ELTE) guided the participants through an exercise. Starting with pointers on what cross-border cooperation covers, including political, cultural and economical fields, participants experimented with different ways to transpose theoretical definitions into an ontology. The exercise aimed at reflecting on how to increase visibility to relevant archival material about the history of cross-border cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerstin Arnold from the portal \u2018Archives Portal Europe<\/a>\u2019 guided the participants through the process of aggregating catalogues of archival collections across Europe and making them searchable. This portal worked on implementing tools to help navigate multilingual collections, with the help of entity and topic mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultimate goal of this workshop is to start a dialogue between archivists, historians and digital humanists and lay the foundation of a consortium dedicated to the identification and aggregation of archives on cross-border cooperation in the Greater Region and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
