On the 18 and 19 April 2024, the Jagiellonian University hosted the international interdisciplinary conference titled “Archives of the Future. The Role of the Philologist in the Era of Digital Technology”.
The Conference is the fruit of the work of the flagship project team “European Heritage in the Jagiellonian Library: Digital Authoring of the Berlin Collections (DiHeLib)”, and leading international scholars in the humanities have been invited to present the results of their research connected with utilizing archive resources.
The conference themes encompass research conducted in the fields of philology, archival science, history, and library science using modern digital technologies, commonly referred to as the “digital humanities”. Its aim is to present the experiences of the philologist and the challenges they face when working in archives using digital tools. In other words, we are interested in presenting the issues of digitalization from the perspective of researchers from the field of humanities, especially philologists. This not only applies to the philological development of the archival text material itself and describing it in order to more fully understand its meaning in culture and history, but also to methods of recording and cataloguing it, combining it with other documents in various databases, and making it available to future readers via the Internet.
