Whitepaper: New Tools for Old Problems

This whitepaper presents the results of the interdisciplinary Workshop "New Tools for Old Problems" (09.01.2021), which focused on the opportunities new (digital) tools offer to the humanities. This paper summarises the discussion and aims to provide a foundation for further debate. While the examples draw mainly from Egyptology, the authors would like to stress that many or even most issues also concern other disciplines.

This whitepaper has been made possible by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research Germany (BMBF) and the Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (HRK), who were third party sponsors to the KOINet project. The workshop "New Tools for Old Problems" was held at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, who provided technical and institutional support.
