Hello and welcome!

This blog is produced by the students of the Master in European Contemporary History of the University of Luxembourg. It has been created within the framework of our “Digital Humanities” class.

We will add sources coming from social networks as Twitter or Facebook, bibliographical references concerning books about European history, reviews of history works and articles made by ourselves or by History teachers.
