The poster slam has a long tradition at the DHd!

On March 17, Sabine Lang gave a talk at this year’s DHd on the topic of

“Mind the Gap”: About Gaps in Provenance Research and their Presence in the Digital Space.

The DHd is the annual conference of the Digital Humanities Association in the German-speaking world (DHd), which has been taking place since 2014. This year’s conference, hosted in Luxembourg and Trier, was themed “Open Humanities. Open Culture” and opened on March 13 with a keynote by Sebastian Majstorovic and Quinn Dombrowski (co-founders of SUCHO) on “Open Culture meets Digital Activism: Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO).”

The talks, panels and posters have addressed, among others, the topics of digital collections, digital images – a talk, for example, discussed artificially generated images and data biases – or the topic of data modeling. Aspects such as Public Digital Humanities, Citizen Humanities, the sustainability of data, data standards or digital provenance research were also addressed. Especially the topic of digital editions dominated the DHd 2023! Finally, Jennifer Edmond (Trinity College, Dublin) looked into the future of the discipline of Digital Humanities in her closing keynote “Open Science and the (Digital) Humanities: Open to our Past, Open to our Present, Open to our Future”.
