ÉISCHTE WELTKRICH

In 2018 C2DH conceived the project “Éischte Weltkrich: Remembering the Great War in Luxembourg”. The goal of the project is to remember an important but neglected historical period in the country. With the support of the Ministry of State and the collections of the major Luxembourg museums, archives and cultural institutions, the project has progressively expanded and deepened its scope, becoming an engaging digital resource.

This project was one of the first collaborations between Studio Calibro and INMAGIK for the creation of virtual exhibitions on the web based on multimedia documentary collections. The site, designed by Studio Calibro, allows the exploration of the collection of documents in different ways: a thematic / story-driven, a digital archive, an interactive map and a timeline.

INMAGIK dealt with different aspects of the project:

  • implementation of the multilingual frontend site and a backend interface for content management, through Javascript and React;
  • support for the extension of the document system API implemented in Python language for the features required by the project.

Particularly interesting are the catalog and the map, which allow searching within the collection and viewing the documents through multimedia players developed ad hoc for the project.
