Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Dit stuk uit het essay (een wroetende poging, die bij voorkeur geen slappe AI-output is) van @fakeplasticruby.bsky.social in DM magazine is tegelijk hartverwarmend, akelig herkenbaar en confronterend, wraakroepend, wanhopig maar ook ook hoopvol. Misschien moeten we wat meer moeite doen.

This article is the best I have read so far this year and I think it will keep that award until the end of the year. It is a hard, painful read, but so well described and flipping the historiographical table. It keeps me thinking about what a sustained comparison with Protestant regions would bring.

Asking for a colleague: where can we find examples of (social) network analysis being used to connect different types of entities, persons, organisations, texts, and ideas in texts? Even better if it deals with historical data. We know how to do this technically #skystorians

Vandaag gaan heel wat kinderen van deur tot deur om Sint-Maartenliedjes te zingen waarvoor ze dan allerlei snoepgoed krijgen. Er kan ook aan de begeleidende (groot)ouders gedacht worden en een glas wijn geschonken worden 😉 Op Sint-Maartensdag werd de nieuwe wijn geproefd voor die de kelders in ging.

De ironie van de geschiedenis: de Vlaamse regering zet het mes in instellingen die historisch onderzoek naar de geschiedenis en taal van Vlaanderen mogelijk maken: de Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van België voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten, de KANTL, sociale en humane wetenschappen aan de universiteit.

standaard.be

De fiere Vlaamse leeuw wordt niet getemd, hij wordt gewoon weggesaneerd

Het is best ironisch dat net de Vlaamse regering het historisch onderzoek in Vlaanderen op droog zaad zet, schrijven vijf historici. Of wil ze ruimte scheppen voor een eigen interpretatie van het verleden en de invloed van wetenschappelijke kritiek beperken?
