Keen to stay up to date with initiatives in the field of computational media history, the Impresso project is organizing a short series of conferences this fall, inviting colleagues to present their current research in order to gain inspiration, share ideas, and build bridges between our ongoing efforts.

“A congressman’s day. 6:30 P.M. Home again, Rep. Thomas reads the hometown newspapers and listens to the latest radio news reports before dinner” (1937), Library of Congress.
