Radical Research and Digital Documents (R2-D2)
The NIOD team Radical Research and Digital Documents (R2-D2) is a multi- and interdisciplinary working group of historians, researchers, archivists, and information professionals working in the digital realm. By pooling this combination of expertise, R2-D2 aims to foster stronger connections between the more ‘traditional’ NIOD research fields, such as history, war, Holocaust, and genocide studies, and developments in the digital humanities and digital history, both within and outside of the context of the NIOD and its partners.
Building on the NIOD's long tradition of collecting, documenting, curating and researching war and mass violence in the twentieth century and beyond, the team takes into account the more recent developments in the digital humanities, digital history, and archival science by applying and reflecting on digitisation, data criticism, methodology, and digital (text) analysis techniques.
