This paper introduces a new Estonian research project, "Digital Livonia," which seeks to develop an innovative analytical approach that combines traditional methods of studying medieval history with research methods and tools from digital humanities. The project aims to construct major prosopographic and other databases, prepare new online collections of sources, and produce pioneering scholarship on the intellectual, spatial, social, and economic history of medieval Livonia (c. 1200–1550). To achieve these objectives, an open web platform in Estonian and English, Digital Livonia, will be created as one of the project's outcomes.

Marek Tamm is professor of cultural history in Tallinn University, Estonia. His primary research fields are cultural history of medieval Europe, theory of history, and cultural memory studies.

The Digital History Seminar convenes on Zoom.
