Harvard, stay strong. The world needs independent and free research, international cooperation, transdisciplinary research and to embrace diversity

Concluding a rewarding visit to the @nationalarchives.gov.uk.web.brid.gy with a workshop about the Printed Appeal Papers and fascinating insights into the workflow of our record specialists, conservators, and imaging operators!

What an impressive project and a fascinating way to bring early modern maritime history to life!

Together with researchers and records specialists of the National Archives and @prizepapers.bsky.social, we facilitated a workshop where we discussed digitisation processes and potentials of digital humanities to engage with the printed appeal papers in record series HCA 45 and PCAP 6.

Provenance research is key to DiViAS! On April 9, join for Object Dating Provenance Research at Landesmuseum Natur und Mensch. Discover the histories of objects from North America & Oceania. Free entry!

Transkribus is an important tool used in the DiViAS project. The case study “Movement in Space and Time” specifically benefits from the automatic transcriptions, which serve as the basis for subsequent named-entity recognition.

PNG meets DiViAS! 🌍
On April 7, researchers from Papua New Guinea, Oldenburg & Wilhelmshaven met at Landesmuseum Natur und Mensch for a workshop on colonial-era collections & digital access. Inspiring exchange & future ideas!

Our researchers presented at #LeLa25 their work on transcriptions, analysis and reconstruction of shipping routes and let participants try a dashboard created by master students using AI extraction.

During #Dhd2025 in Bielefeld, DiViAS researchers held a workshop on spatiotemporal uncertainty and how to visualise movement data of the Gunboat Albatroß's (1886) with QGIS.

Wissenschaftsraum ProSaDi Provenance and Collection Research financed by the VWFoundation and the State of Lower Saxony. Great transdisciplinary project meeting at Oldenburg University with our partners. Thank you for your great presentations and questions.

How can objects held in European museums be made accessible to the #Tlingit in Alaska? What role can #3D-digitisation play? We were honoured to welcome representatives of the Tlingit community, Joe Zuboff & Garfield George, researchers and museum professionals at the State Museum Nature and Human.

Developments in #3D-digitisation pave the way for new approaches to researching museum and archival objects that aren't possible to achieve with conventional 2D methods. In our workshop, experts from the humanities and technical sciences came together to address questions around #materiality.

Meet our researchers working on the case study “Movement in Space and Time”.

The research network DiViAS brings together scientific methods and practices of digitising, researching and representing collection items from colonial contexts.

DiViAS systematically combines expertise from the fields of museum-, history- and cultural studies with that of technology and computer science – including artificial intelligence, data analysis, geoinformatics and threedimensional measurement technology. Meet the heads of the project.

Maischberger blendet die Beleidigungen des rechtsradikalen Tech Milliardärs Elon Musk gegen Scholz auf X in ihrer Sendung ein als Beleg für die Unpopularität des Bundeskanzlers. Der Rest des Interviews ist auf diesem Niveau. Das ist kein professioneller Journalismus der Öffentlich Rechtlichen.

Dear followers, we are all devastated about what happened to our colleague Luan. Please consider donating, see below. And consider signing a petition to forbid private fireworks which you find here innn.it/boellerverbot

#Oldenburg Angesichts dieser furchtbaren Verletzungen auch in diesem Jahr von Unbeteiligten muss die Stadt aufgefordert werden, private Feuerwerke zu untersagen. Stattdessen könnte ein öffentliches Feuerwerk organisiert werden wie in anderen Ländern auch.

#Oldenburg Angesichts dieser furchtbaren Verletzungen auch Unbeteiligter ein weiteres Jahr muss die Stadt Oldenburg aufgefordert werden, private Feuerwerke endlich zu untersagen und stattdessen ein öffentliches Feuerwerk anzubieten.

Auch in der Provinz verlief die Silvesternacht laut Nordwest-Zeitung #Oldenburg „wie erwartet“ mit Schwerverletzten etc.

Ohne Worte. Unten eine Petition für ein Böllerverbot …
