During the 2000s, digitised media sources have changed the practices of media history. To foster dialogue between approaches of digital history and media history, Nordic Media History Network (NOMEH) organizes a webinar series focusing on the topic from various perspectives.

The first seminar will be held on Wednesday 22 March 2023 at 12–13.30/13–14.30 (Scandinavian/Finnish time) in Zoom (https://utu.zoom.us/j/66757182943). At the seminar, Jon Carlstedt Tønnessen (University of Oslo) will give a speech with the title Ontologies and Tools to Study the Web of the Past. The presentation will be followed by two comment speeches held by Daniel Brodén (University of Gothenburg) and Liisa Näpärä (National Library of Finland). A joint discussion will follow the invited talks.
