Passcode: 144625
After the Covid-pandemic years, a new series of on-line event was initiated aiming to revitalise our community, the EURHO members. The first event on Zoom was held before our Uppsala Conference. It was devoted to the book series „Rural History in Europe” published by Brepols Publishers. The second event in May 2023 was devoted to the 20th anniversary of the Archives of Rural History (AfA), Bern.
As discussed in Cluj-Napoca, the next on-line discussion will continue our series with another anniversary celebration as the Institute of Rural History (IRH) in St. Pölten, Austria was founded in the same year as the AfA. The institute will present some new insights into their work with the vast amateur film collection “Niederösterreich privat” and discuss their current and future research perspectives on the history and present of rural areas – from (re)defining borders and economic mobility after 1989 to food security and adapting agriculture in times of climate change. The discussions will build upon the IRH’ German-language on-site event “Land und heute. Zwei Jahrzehnte Institut und Jahrbuch für Geschichte des ländlichen Raumes“ on 23 and 24 November 2023, the programme of which can be found here: https://www.ruralhistory.at/de/veranstaltungen/workshops-konferenzen/2-jahrzehnte-institut-und-jahrbuch-fuer-geschichte-des-laendlichen-raumes
Hopefully, many of you could join this event in our series which aims to bridge the gap between our conferences in Cluj and Coimbra.
Best regards,
on behalf of the EURHO officers,

Vice-President
