This lecture introduces the theme of understanding history through data, focusing on the relationship between historical events and digitized press archives. The course explores the international relations of Switzerland during the Cold War (1947-1990) by analyzing Swiss and international press archives. Students will produce a research project combining digital and historical methods, emphasizing interdisciplinary learning. The course structure includes general problem introduction, research project definition, digital tools initiation, and report writing. In the second semester, students will work on their research projects, receive guidance from instructors, and finalize their reports for online publication.
