Call for Contributions to "Transformations - A DARIAH Journal" on Digital Past(s)

The deadline for the second call for contributions to Transformations is December 31!

Notification of acceptance: expected around March, 2026.

This call invites scholars, practitioners, and cultural heritage professionals to reflect on the theme of the DARIAH Annual Event 2025: “The Past”. What is the past after the digital turn in humanities and archaeology? This question opens profound challenges for the many ways we conceptualize, access, and engage with history through computational means. We invite contributions that interrogate the fundamental nature of “the past” as it becomes increasingly mediated, represented and reconstructed through digital infrastructures, algorithms, and interfaces.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Virtual and augmented reconstructions of historical environments and events

• Digital storytelling and narratives of the past

• The archaeology of digital approaches to the past

• AI and big data in historical research

• Teaching the past through digital methods

• Digital archiving and preservation strategies

Transformations Editorial Board welcomes the submission of a diversity of research outputs:

• research articles (30,000 – 50,000 characters)

• data papers (18,000 – 24,000 characters)

• workflow papers (18,000 – 24,000 characters)
