Like criminologists, historians have to reconstruct past moments or situations. However, unlike criminologists, historians often cannot re-enact<ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" n="1" target="ftn1" /> events due to the fact that their subject of investigation cannot be easily reproduced. The advent of AI in the form of powerful multimodal large language models (LLMs) is a game changer here: Historians can now prompt image generation models (mostly based on <hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" rend="italic">Stable Diffusion</hi> (Rombach et al., 2022)) to re-create scenes from primary sources and research findings. This enables them to quickly visualise past events, thereby enhancing their understanding of historical moments. The project <hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" rend="italic">Re-Experiencing History</hi> aims to create a platform exploiting LLMs to support users in re-enacting such historical events.
