A nearly full gang at #BSSDH2025 – a vibrant mix of disciplines, career stages, and countries. The weather was perfect and the vibe even better. Already looking forward to #BSSDH2026! ☀️

Day 5 at #BSSDH2025 came with a few clouds – fitting for the final day. We’re wrapping up almost with pizza – a historical map-making workshop led by the brilliant Giovanni Pietro Vitali, followed by a reflection session and suggestions for #BSSDH2026.

Day 4 at #BSSDH2025 brought also a 4.5-hour hands-on session on LLMs in humanities research – with two breaks, of course. For many, a first real dive into this space. Led by Valdis Saulespurēns & Anda Baklāne.

Day 4 at #BSSDH2025: still sunny ☼, still (almost) everyone here! We kicked off with Sarah Oberbichler from the DH Lab at the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz, presenting a keynote on new approaches to using LLMs for historical newspaper research.

The new University of Latvia campus offers a bit more than you might expect from a summer school venue – open roof terraces, a community garden, and many quiet spots to take a break or play a quick game.
Thanks to UL for giving #BSSDH2025 full access to its House of Science!

#BSSDH2025, Day 2:
This morning’s workshop with Daniel Ihrmark (Linnaeus University) is all about understanding code – not to become programmers, but to see what Python can reveal in historical texts and data.

Leaving the wonderful #DARIAH2025 event a bit early, reflecting on this: The interest of researchers/institutions to join ERICs is strong and growing. National contributions vary, but in the SSH field, they can be relatively modest. And yet... becoming a national member of an ERIC takes YEARS. 1/2

Diaries are special. Even more so when they come with drawings and photos – like this one from a Latvian refugee girl in a DP camp in Germany, 1945.
We’ve just launched a new call inviting diaspora Latvians to share their life writings for digitising & archiving. www.latviesi.com/jaunumi/kadu...
