Description

We investigate the needs of analyzing historical attitudes to Hitler and Mussolini using digitized historical sources and a computer-assisted approach. We believe that the principles of 'minimal computing' are worth a comparison with established, resource-heavy approaches. In terms of social equity and global access, efficient methods offer opportunities for improvement.
