Data Practices, Provenance, and Categorizations in Film History. Interviews with Scholars, Archivists, and Project Managers
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The interviews in this collection were conducted by the BMFTR research group “Aesthetics of Access: Visualizing Research Data on Women in Film History” (DAVIF) (2021-2026) at the Institute of Media Studies at Marburg University. With our interview collection, we pursue three primary objectives: (1) to provide insights into the data practices of our project partners – the Women Film Pioneers Project (WFPP) and the DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum, and the early feminist film database project f_films, (2) to contribute to current debates on data provenance and research data management in film and media studies, and (3) to increase the visibility of film historical research agendas within the broader field of digital humanities. This volume is not only of interest to researchers working in the field of digital film historiography, but is also relevant for discourses on the re-use of cultural heritage data in digital humanities research projects.
