About

The Things That Matter programme at the University of Groningen addresses the tension between the materiality of sources and their digitization. 

Overview

Key facts

The recent advances of digital technology have created new modes of reproduction and forms of consumption that have substantially reshaped the concepts of ‘object’ and of ‘collection’ at the heart of cultural institutions such as libraries and museums.

The Things That Matter programme at the University of Groningen engages with key questions that arise from the study of the past in the digital age. 

These issues include the changing nature of objects such as books and scientific instruments as source materials; the history and practice of collections and collecting, digitization and its challenges, both technological and intellectual.

Programme Structure

The program focuses on:

  • different theories and approaches
  • Digital Humanities Research
