Институт за съвременни дигитални архиви (ИСДА)

A great new resourse for those interested in the last twenty years of Bulgarian history: the Institute for Contemporary Digital Archives, an independent non-profit foundation, was established in 2008 by the historian Martin Ivanov (Institute for History of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences/Sofia University), the sociologist Venelin Stojchev (Sofia University) and the communications scholar Orlin Spasov (Sofia University). The institute aims to identify, digitalize and place in the public domain important organizational and private documents. The three current projects of the institute are: A Citizens' Transition Archive (1989-2009), Interviews with Key Figures in Bulgarian post-1989 Civil Society and Interviews with Key Figures of the Bulgarian post-1989 Liberal Political Formations.

REKLAKAZALA, a New Project of the Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities

Toma Tasovac, Head of the Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities, has started a new project entitled Reklakazala 'Hearsay'. Its goal is to publish daily an interesting entry from the 19th-century Serbian dictionary by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić and provoke discussion of it on the accompanying blog. Since Vuk's dictionary explains the Serbian words in German and Latin, the new website can be of interest not only for those who already know Serbian but aslo for learners. You can read the first two entries at http://reklakaza.la/.
