Announcement by the University of Brussels
On Wednesday 8 November between 16h15 and 17h45, Dr Joëlle Weis (Trier Center for Digital Humanities) will hold a seminar titled Reconstructing Bookscapes. A digital investigation on the private libraries of 18th-century princesses.

The seminar will introduce a research project on the private libraries of 18th-century German princesses and investigate the epistemic and social practices related to these libraries. In the project, libraries are reconstructed with the help of a knowledge graph. The presentation will focus on data modelling, discuss first results as well as raise issues of archiving problems and "heritigization".
