This project focuses on the 41 years of news dispatches from the Belgian press agency Belga, which are archived at KBR—over 3 million pages produced since 1954. It also involves contributing to their preservation as historical archives. The project has a dual objective: first, to analyse Belga’s news production to enrich the history of Belgian journalism, and second, to contribute to the preservation and public (and academic) accessibility of this major cultural heritage. The Belga Dispatch Archive is an invaluable resource for the history of journalism and for Belgian history more broadly.

This Masterclass wishes to provide a space to discuss participatory research methods as an alternative to traditional research. Instead of viewing participants as “subjects” like in traditional research design, participatory research provides a less extractive way of conducting research: its dual purpose is to learn from collaborators while also providing opportunities for communities themselves to engage with the research topic.
