Registration for the Workshop From Global Archives to Global Histories

Digital infrastructures are rapidly changing the way in which we research the past. What can it bode for the future of global history? This workshop will introduce currently available resources from GLOBALISE, a large-scale infrastructural project (2022-2026) based at the Huygens Institute, Amsterdam. This project integrates technological advancements in handwritten text recognition and natural language processing with meticulous historical contextualization to redefine how we could access the vast seventeenth- and eighteenth-century archives of Dutch East India Company (VOC). 

The workshop is part of the panel “Redefining the Limits of Global History: GLOBALISE, the Dutch East India Company Archives and the Early Modern World (Roundtable)” taking place on thursday, 11th September, 14:30-16:30 in M1088.
