As part of my PhD research on digital history practices, I therefore am conducting an online survey to investigate the practices of collaboration. If you are part of a DH collaboration, I would like to kindly ask you to participate in the survey introduced in this blogpost.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Digital history is not simply a matter of asking historians what they want from a digital tool, emailing the resulting user requirements to a software developer, and waiting for the perfect system to be implemented. Instead, digital history requires an ongoing negotiation of software design and alignment with scholarly practices by coordinating the practices of computational researchers and historians. This ongoing negotiation of practices constitutes what I call a \u2018trading zone\u2019:<a href=\"#footnote_ref-1-foot\" id=\"footnote_ref-1-text\" data-target=\"self\"><sup style=\"font-size:11px\">[1]<\/sup><\/a> a local area within which practices and discourses are coordinated so that participants from different cultures can perform exchanges.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>To go to the survey immediately, click here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maxkemman.nl\/survey\">www.maxkemman.nl\/survey<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>For this PhD research I have selected several digital history collaborations in the Benelux<a href=\"#footnote_ref-2-foot\" id=\"footnote_ref-2-text\" data-target=\"self\"><sup style=\"font-size:11px\">[2]<\/sup><\/a> as case studies. I have interviewed participants about how they negotiated their practices and goals of the collaboration. I have thereby developed a perspective on what happens inside these trading zones of digital history. However, what has been left unexplored so far are the edges of the trading zones: how do collaborations create boundaries of the trading zone, and how are the trading zones embedded in wider organisations. <strong>With the survey introduced in this blog post, I hope to explore these boundaries of collaborations further.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\nContact &amp; Participation<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>I consider three dimensions of trading zones: 1) cultural maintenance, 2) coercion, and 3) contact &amp; participation. The current survey focuses on this final dimension, the contact &amp; participation. With this dimension, we aim to gain an insight in the ways people in a trading zone participate, and the organisational structures of interdisciplinary collaboration. \u00a0<strong>It is entirely possible that you are part of multiple collaborations<\/strong>; e.g. you could be part of a DH centre that has a lab, and you work on one or more projects. <strong>If that is the case, we kindly ask you to take the survey for each individually, and not combine answers in one go. <\/strong>We are particularly interested in collaborations that include historians.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\nWhy a survey?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>I take a \u2018meso\u2019 perspective on how trading zones are organised. A survey therefore provides an appropriate tool to gain a wider outlook at digital humanities\/history collaborations. The survey is primarily focused on digital history, separating history while combining other humanities subdisciplines under the grouping \u2018humanities\u2019. Still, I am very interested in other DH collaborations as well. As explained on the first page of the survey, all results will anonymised, and you may stop at any time. The anonymised results will be published as open data.<\/p>\n\n<p>The survey will be supplemented with a case study of how digital history collaborations are organisationally embedded at the University of Luxembourg, where we have a) the\u00a0Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, b) the\u00a0history department at the humanities faculty, c) the\u00a0Digital History Lab, and d) run several digital history projects. How all these collaborations create boundaries and cross boundaries will be used as qualitative information on top of the more quantitatively oriented survey.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\nI would really appreciate if you could fill out and distribute the survey and help me finish my PhD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\nYou can find the survey via www.maxkemman.nl\/survey<\/h3>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px;border-top:1px solid #CCCCCC;padding-top: 8px\"><a href=\"#footnote_ref-1-text\" id=\"footnote_ref-1-foot\" data-target=\"self\"><sub style=\"bottom:1px\">1. <\/sub><\/a>Galison, P.
