Analysing Web archives
May 02, 2023 Season 1 Episode 6

For the C²DH, 2022 was a particularly fruitful and intense year for our ongoing research on Web archives: two year-long projects came to an end, one in partnership with the DataLab of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, entitled Buzz-F, and another with the Canadian Archives Unleashed team, AWAC2, which looked at Web archives related to the COVID-19 crisis. In autumn 2022, the final conference of the WARCnet project (2020-2023) was also held in Aarhus, Denmark. Finally, the HIVI project (A history of online virality) pursued its activities for the second consecutive year.

C²DH historian Valérie Schafer and Niels Brügger, a Professor in Media Studies and Head of the Centre for Internet Studies at Aarhus University in Denmark, spoke to Hanna Siemaszko, the producer of the SciLux podcast on science in Luxembourg, about the challenges of digging into Web archives and online virality.

This podcast was recorded in connection with the 2022 Annual Report of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), a University of Luxembourg research centre.
