SUMMARY:6th Digital History in Sweden Conference: Unboxing Digital Methods\
 , Practices and Public Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Whether or not it is a conscious choice\, most digital history 
 projects involve\, engage\, or inform the public in some way. This can be 
 anything from crowdsourcing or creating a digital educational resource\, t
 o inadvertently enabling easy access to newly digitized material for every
 one – not just researchers. Historians need to be aware of the potential
  of the digital in the dissemination and collection of historical knowledg
 e\, as well as the vital role they play in providing a context for local h
 istories.\n\nFusing the sharing of memories and amateur history-writing on
 line – where it can easily be disseminated – means that historians hav
 e started to be more aware of and open to the public’s role in collectin
 g memories and sources\, building networks\, and enabling cross-border\, n
 on-Eurocentric ways of writing history. The internationalization of access
  to sources and histories leads to academic and amateur historians gaining
  insights into regions that previously were inaccessible\, yet infrastruct
 ures for citizen participation remain limited to only a few. In many ways\
 , digital methods\, practices\, and public engagement put a spotlight on h
 istory’s relationship with collective memory and how interactive practic
 es\, collaborations\, and co-creation affect both the field and the public
  in general.\n\nThe conference is organized by the Division of History at 
 the Department of Cultural Sciences\, with support from the Centre for Con
 currences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies and Digital Humanities at t
 he Faculty of Arts and Humanities\, Linnaeus University.
