Digital Public History sessions at the XXII International Congress of Historical Sciences (ICHS-CISH)

Academic Historians promoted a Historic1st international reflection on the Digital Turn in History during The XXII International Congress of Historical Sciences organized by the International Committee for Historical Sciences – Comité International des Sciences Historique (ICSH-CISH) in the city of Jinan in China, between August 23 and August 29, 2015 in Shandong Hotel.  (You can still Download the Full Programme, look at the Practical Information and visit the Jinan Congress Web Site.)

For the first time in its own history, the ICHS promoted some panels and events around Digital History tahnks to the American Historical Association (AHA) and the Internal Federation for Public History(IFPH-FIHP), a permanent Internal Commission of the CISH. Both associations actively contributed to the main CISH programme in Jinan. The IFPH also organized its 2nd Annual International Conference during the XXII International Congress of Historical Sciences with a session dedicated to Digital Public History.
One of the four Major Themes during this quinquennial meeting of historians from all over the world was about the Digital Turn in History/Le tournant numérique en Histoire. Many defections were registered still in July but, at the end, Robert Frank, professor of History of International Relations at Paris 1 Sorbonne and, at the time of the conference, still secretary general of the International Committee for Historical Sciences, succeeded in maintaining three different digital history events: two panels and an evening session about digital public history.
This was the specific digital history programme
