In recent years, interest in the history of the digital humanities has grown. The 9th dhiha conference at the German Historical Institute Paris from 23-25 October 2024 will connect to this growing interest. It will explore the overlooked history of digital history from different perspectives and emphasize the importance of understanding the field’s past by examining historical developments, methods, and research gaps. The aim is to highlight past achievements and offer a critical perspective on the evolution of digital history, challenging the rhetoric of novelty that often surrounds it.

Hannah Ishmael (King’s College, London): Resisting Borders: Archives as Technology from Analogue to Digital
Engaging the frameworks of ‘technology’ and ‘space’ this talk discusses the role of colonial administration and archives in creating and maintaining physical and intellectual borders. However, whilst the colonial archive marks the starting point of this talk, I will focus on how Black communities (with a focus on Britain) have contested and negotiated these borders already in the Analogue and continue to do so in the Digital.
Dr. Hannah Ishmael is Lecturer in Digital Culture and Race at Kings College London, and previously she was the Collections and Research Manager at Black Cultural Archives. Hannah’s PhD research focussed on the development of Black-led archives in London and her current research looks at the relationship between archives, borders and technologies
