Abstract: From November 15 to 17, 2024, the International Scientific Conference "Modern Historical Informatics: Data Analytics in Historical Research" (XIX Conference of the Association "History and Computer") was held in Moscow, on the basis of the Presidential Academy (RANEPA). The article discusses the features of this conference, the main directions of its work and the results. It is noted that, despite the increasing strengthening of data Science and its impact on the humanities, the priority in the development of historical informatics remains the same – it is focused on the increment of knowledge in various fields of historical science. The current conference was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Academician I. D. Kovalchenko, who created the national school of quantitative history and had a great influence on the formation of modern historical source studies, and the 20th anniversary of the first Department of Historical Informatics in Russia (Faculty of History of Lomonosov Moscow State University). The article provides an overview of the plenary and breakout sessions of the conference, as well as the expert discussion "Historical Informatics and the challenge of machine learning: what is the future of historical science in the world of artificial intelligence?" and the round table "Topical issues of historical Informatics." Within the framework of the conference, two plenary and 19 breakout sessions of eight thematic sections were held, at which over 110 reports from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan were presented. The general trend was the participation of a large number of young researchers in the conference. It was noted that the current conference attracted a large number of young researchers, many of whom went through the summer school, which was held in 2024 for the fourth time. The conference participants noted that the current conference was a success and thanked the leadership of the Presidential Academy for the opportunity to hold a scientific forum at this prestigious university. In general, the conference showed that historical informatics as an interdisciplinary scientific field is developing steadily and actively responding to all new trends in the development of science as a whole, while remaining a part of historical science, but using all possible methods and technologies as research tools to gain new knowledge.

Abstract: The article discusses the content and results of the international conference of the Association "History and Computer" (AIC) "Historical Informatics as Historical Data Science", held on November 11-13, 2022 at the Faculty of History of Lomonosov Moscow State University. All stages and forms of the conference are described in detail: 2 plenary sessions, breakout sessions, a round table. The conference was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the AIC and the 10th anniversary of the journal "Historical Informatics". The conference program included over 100 reports, the authors of which represented scientific centers of Russia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Germany, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Norway and Uzbekistan. The main part of the conference consisted of 10 breakout sessions, where reports were presented on topical historical problems, the solution of which was proposed by the authors on the basis of methods and technologies of historical informatics. At the same time, in most reports, considerable attention was paid to the characteristics of the data used, methods of their processing and visualization. Much attention was paid to the creation of databases and information systems, statistical processing of historical data, methods of text analysis, historical geoinformatics, 3-D modeling. The results of archaeological research using digital technologies, methods of historical informatics in the research work of archives and museums, digital technologies in historical education were also considered.
