Genuinely electronic \"sources\" differ fundamentally from analog historical material. They usually occur in large quantities, often referred to as \"Big Data,\" and are embedded in dynamic and relational database structures as well as networked hardware and software environments. Contextual information in the form of metadata is therefore essential for understanding the surviving information. Archiving processes, such as evaluation and acquisition, structuring into indexing objects, migration processes, and online provision, also change the structure and view of the data. Genuinely electronic \"sources\" are thus fluid, variable, and available in multiple representations.<\/p>\n
This calls into question established parameters of historical scholarship. The concept of the \"original\" seems obsolete. Do we need new concepts and methods to certify the \"authenticity\" or \"genuineness\" of genuine digital documents? Will archives only deliver \"fragile facts\" in the future? How can source-based and methodological historical science produce valid research results under these circumstances? What competencies must be taught so that historians can critically evaluate genuinely electronic material and present it in data-based narratives?<\/p>\n
In the section \"The End of the Original?\" the challenges posed by genuinely electronic \"sources\" in archives and in historical research and teaching will be problematized and discussed in an exemplary manner. This panel is deliberately designed as a dialogue between archives and historical science. The creation of future historical material in digital processes of public authorities, archiving and authentication processes, methods of research on the basis of genuinely electronic \"sources,\" in this case, websites, as well as requirements for historical data criticism in university teaching will be considered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2527","ht_section","type-ht_section","status-publish","hentry","ht_section_category-digital-history","ht_section_category-didactics-of-history","ht_section_category-modern-history","ht_section_category-social-history","ht_section_category-contemporary-history","ht_section_location-hs2","ht_section_speaker-andrea-wettmann","ht_section_speaker-andreas-fickers","ht_section_speaker-bastian-gillner","ht_section_speaker-bettina-joergens","ht_section_speaker-christian-keitel","ht_section_speaker-christine-friederich","ht_section_speaker-kiran-klaus-patel","ht_section_speaker-valerie-schafer","ht_section_language-deutsch","ht_section_language-englisch"],"acf":{"event_start":"2023-09-21 09:00:00","event_end":"2023-09-21 11:30:00","section_category":[{"term_id":87,"name":"NNG","slug":"modern-history","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":87,"taxonomy":"ht_section_category","description":"Modern History","parent":0,"count":28,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":88,"name":"ZG","slug":"contemporary-history","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":88,"taxonomy":"ht_section_category","description":"Contemporary History","parent":0,"count":29,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":94,"name":"SozG","slug":"social-history","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":94,"taxonomy":"ht_section_category","description":"Social History","parent":0,"count":10,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":97,"name":"GD","slug":"didactics-of-history","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":97,"taxonomy":"ht_section_category","description":"Didactics of History","parent":0,"count":7,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":96,"name":"DigiGW","slug":"digital-history","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":96,"taxonomy":"ht_section_category","description":"Digital History","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw"}],"section_head":[{"id":1348,"ID":1348,"object_type":"term","PostClass":"Timber\\Post","TermClass":"Term","_children":null,"name":"Andreas Fickers","taxonomy":"ht_section_speaker","term_id":1348,"slug":"andreas-fickers","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1348,"parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw","firstname":"Andreas","lastname":"Fickers","location":"Luxembourg","email":""},{"id":1349,"ID":1349,"object_type":"term","PostClass":"Timber\\Post","TermClass":"Term","_children":null,"name":"Andrea Wettmann","taxonomy":"ht_section_speaker","term_id":1349,"slug":"andrea-wettmann","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1349,"parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw","firstname":"Andrea","lastname":"Wettmann","location":"Dresden","email":""}],"section_location":{"term_id":1106,"name":"HS2","slug":"hs2","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1106,"taxonomy":"ht_section_location","description":"","parent":0,"count":4,"filter":"raw"},"section_talks":[{"speaker":[{"id":1350,"ID":1350,"object_type":"term","PostClass":"Timber\\Post","TermClass":"Term","_children":null,"name":"Bettina Joergens","taxonomy":"ht_section_speaker","term_id":1350,"slug":"bettina-joergens","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1350,"parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw","firstname":"Bettina","lastname":"Joergens","location":"Duisburg","email":""}],"title":"Einf\u00fchrung","abstract":""},{"speaker":[{"id":1351,"ID":1351,"object_type":"term","PostClass":"Timber\\Post","TermClass":"Term","_children":null,"name":"Bastian Gillner","taxonomy":"ht_section_speaker","term_id":1351,"slug":"bastian-gillner","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1351,"parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw","firstname":"Bastian","lastname":"Gillner","location":"Duisburg","email":""}],"title":"Obskure Praktiken.
