Abstract
This study is a conference report evaluating the "1st International Egodocumental Network Conference" hosted by Vilnius University between 24–26 April 2025. As the first in-person event of the International Egodocumental Network, the conference brought together over 80 scholars from various disciplines such as history, literature, religion, and art history, featuring more than 70 papers covering a wide timeframe from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. The report summarizes the keynote addresses delivered by François-Joseph Ruggiu, Leona Toker, and Nataliia Voloshkova. Furthermore, it discusses the core academic challenges and solutions raised during the closing round table session, including the lack of archival tagging in egodocument studies, limited accessibility, and the need to solidify a common methodology.
