PresentationThe sources produced by European institutions have increasingly been made available online. The European Union institutions have engaged in the digitisation of their archives and made them available online, as well as the Archive of European Integration (AEI) based at the University of Pittsburgh (USA). The CVCE collection (Centre Virtuel pour la Connaissance sur l&#8217;Europe &#8211; Virtual Resource Centre for Knowledge about Europe) has selected archives of the European integration and made them available online for scholars and students to use. Beyond EU archives, European platforms of digitised sources like Europeana have shown how difficult it can be to overcome the national silos, but also how the annotation with metadata can help searching in multilingual collections.Digital and digitised materials open historical sources to be computationally processed, enhanced and analysed with digital tools. Some attempts have already been undertaken to use automatic classification tools to help navigate unclassified EU digitised archives (Hengchen et alii, 2016). The datification of historical sources also opens the possibility to prepare them (or their annotations) for visualisation of networks (see the work of Martin Grandjean), or &#8220;distant reading&#8221; of large collections (for instance with histograph). We propose to contribute to that discussion on the on-going research using these sources and/or tools along (but not limited to) the following questions:Digitised sources &#8211; what uses, what outcomes for European integration historiography?Digitisation of national archives and EU institutional archivesDigitally born material: social media, webarchivesDigitisation of generic historical sources at European scale: newspapers, books, maps, imagesThe allure of the digital Europe: the &#8220;perils and pleasure&#8221; of the digital?Digital source criticism: what collections are made available online and how ?Oral history and multimedia collections of the European integration history: enhanced access, new visibility?Interface criticism: how handy are the interfaces, what navigation options are offered to browse the collections, how connected are the collections with external databases?Producing new workflows for collecting digitised sources or using digital tools, from the note collection to the collection of data, the annotation of digital sources?Visualisation of historical data as another heuristic practice?Submission GuidelinesPlease submit here (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ceds2020) an abstract of 500 words, three keywords describing it and a short academic bio (200 words) before 16.02.2020Notifications will be sent on the 15.03.2020.The conference will take place in Luxembourg, on the 28-29.05.2020The History of European Integration Research Society (HEIRS) is a postgraduate student network. HEIRS aims at fostering the collaboration and interaction of postgraduate researchers across Europe with an interest in European integration history.Program CommitteeAnne BRUCHEstelle BUNOUTAnastasia REMESOtilia TIRAReferencesDanescu, Elena, et ali.&#8216;The Werner Committee Network - CVCE Website&#8217;: https://www.cvce.eu/en/digital-innovation/projects/netviz/werner-networks.Abel, Richard. 2013. &#8216;The Pleasures and Perils of Big Data in Digitized Newspapers&#8217;.
