Inspired by Warburg’s principles, the article transforms static images into interlinked, interactive panels. Its case study of the 19th‐century Carguero deepens our understanding of visual symbolism.

By merging digital techniques with human interpretation, the article demonstrates how interactive panels and data visualizations offer fresh insights into visual archives via the Carguero case.

But these sources raise questions. Can we ethically use archived posts from forums & blogs without consent? How do we avoid overinterpreting what's preserved—and what's lost? The paper ends with a call for cautious, critical digital history.

From lean employment pressures to restrictive benefits, the 2000s marked a turning point. Web archives reveal raw, everyday reflections—from sick workers to HR managers—offering insight into how people understood these changes, not just endured them.

GaLiLeO is unfinished & its corpus incomplete. But that’s the point. It shows how partial, purpose-built tools can still yield insight—especially when they trace relationships that archives and metadata might miss. A third space between archive and algorithm.

Unlike most text mining tools, GaLiLeO doesn’t aim for sweeping models. Instead, it helps researchers identify meaningful links across Galileo’s library—prioritizing interpretive, humanistic inquiry over scale. It’s built for discovery, not datafication.

We worked to recover and make accessible 10,000+ defaced websites, captured between 1995–2010. These archived hacks aren't just noise - they reveal political messages, digital protest, and forgotten web aesthetics. Here's how they help us understand web history: journalofdigitalhist...
