Samenvatting

This abstract was written as a contribution to the workshop 'Exploring Historical War Experiences through Digital Sources and Methodologies' organised by Tampere Univerisity, Finland, 23-24 May 2024. This contribution reflects on digital transformations and the ‘analog’ provenance of historical archival collections of so-called ‘egodocuments’. The increasing availability and usage of digital-born or digitised records in historical scholarship has created a momentum to critically reflect on transformative interactions with(in) the archive that are crucial to doing (digital) historical research. A recently digitised wartime letters collection (1935-1950), held by the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust, and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam, serves as a case study to illustrate a need to expand current practices of source criticism in historical scholarship in the digital age.
