C²DH – Innovating & Sharing History

Magazine

How can we get the general public interested in contemporary history? That question was the starting point for the new magazine of the C2DH – the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History. In the field of academic research, brochures generally contain lengthy texts about the methodology behind research projects. They are full of scholarly terminology and few images are used to illustrate the ideas. The C2DH was keen to make contemporary history research accessible and attractive to a broad public – by harness the power of images to attract the attention of history novices and spark an interest in the centre’s research topics.
