When historians rely on vast digitised archives, how can they tell whose voices are amplified, whose are missing, and why it matters? Kaspar Beelen @sas-news.bsky.social @dh-researchhub.bsky.social discusses: faculti.net/bias-missing... #history #digitalhumanities

Digital preservation is cultural memory work. Websites disappear. Platforms shutdown. Links rot. Online creativity can vanish!

For digital humanities, archiving the web means safeguarding historical records of the cultural moment, but preserving something so dynamic & vast is technically complex!

AI and the humanities: Across the Princeton campus, an era of collaboration is underway. Princeton has firmly established its presence at the forefront of AI research — including transformative work in humanities scholarship.

Princeton is leading a new wave of collaboration, from using LLMs to piece together ancient fragments to humanists helping engineers build more ethical, accessible models. This is the future of interdisciplinary research. #DigitalHumanities #History #AI #Princeton
