Active OCR: A Level II Start Up Grant Enhancing the humanities through innovation: Over the past several years, many large archives (such as the National Library of Australia and the National Library of Finland) have attempted to improve the quality of their digitized text collections by inviting website visitors to assist with the correction of transcription errors. In the case of print collections, an optical character recognition (OCR) system is typically used to create an initial transcription of the text from scanned page images. While the accuracy of OCR engines such as Tesseract and ABBYY FineReader is constantly improving, these systems often perform poorly when confronted with historical typefaces and orthographic conventions. Traditional forms of manual correction are expensive even at a small scale. Engaging web volunteers—a process often called crowdsourcing—is one way for archives to correct their texts at a lower cost and on a larger scale, while also developing a user community.

  • Copyrighted Material
    1 A Guide for the Perplexed HIS is a book about how to look at written and printed words, not as Ttexts, but as processes of communication in which meaning is made through the relationship between signs, structures, and materials. It has been written to complement the use of Gaskell, and to expand on those areas that were not covered in his book.1 In the following pages, the intention is both to explain the methods and processes that are used to describe and study early printed books and manuscripts, and to situate that understanding in a scholarly context in order that the insights so derived might be fruitfully employed. The focus will shift from broader narratives about the methods and ideas employed in bibliographical study to specific details and examples that serve to make a more general point. The illustrations have been chosen, where possible, with an eye to freshness. The hope is that those who wish to read this will be able to look at a book or manuscript and study the way in which it was made, the processes through which it may have evolved, and its history as reflected through the archival records as well as the evidence of its use. I When we look at the handwriting of someone that we do not know, we form an impression of their personality from their ‘character’. We may not do so consciously, but we sense handwriting to be unique and revealing. We perceive whether the script is open or tight; whether the forms are regular and disciplined, or whether majuscules and miniscules are mixed together.

  • Sandars Lectures 2007: Conversations with Maps
    SANDARS LECTURES 2007: CONVERSATIONS WITH MAPS Sarah Tyacke CB Lecture III: There are maps and there are maps – motives, markets and users As Christian Jacob put it ‘There are maps and there are maps’. More prosaically the nature of them depends on what you want the map or chart for and how you the reader perceive it? This third lecture is about what drove the cartographic activity internally and externally and how did it manifest itself in England and the rest of maritime Europe through its distributors, patrons and readers. This is probably the most challenging subject, first articulated in embryonic form as part of the history of cartography’s remit in the 1970s by David Woodward (as we saw in lecture I) and developed thereafter as the history of cartography took a ‘second turn’ and embraced social context. This ‘second turn’ challenged the inevitability of progress in cartography and understood that cartography was just as much a product of its society as other texts. In the case of Brian Harley he took this further arguing powerfully, from the examples he found, that in the early modern period with the rise of the nation state and European expansion ‘cartography was primarily a form of political discourse concerned with the acquisition and maintenance of power’ ( Imago Mundi 1988, 40 pp. 57-76). One might say the same of archives and libraries which spent (and do spend) their time ordering knowledge in the shape of books and manuscripts. In the case of a National Archives there is a clear explicit connection between the state and the archive; but even here within the archive and within the map there are other human elements at work as well, even subversive at least when it comes to interpreting them.

  • The Digital Materiality of Digitized Manuscripts
    Chapter 2 The Digital Materiality of Digitized Manuscripts A strange paradox has crept into philological work of all kinds of fields, such as classics, sinology, Islamic studies, medieval studies, and many others. Scholars have been so eager to take advantage of digitized manuscripts, that Wido van Peursen, a biblical scholar, notes: “now that the digital object has become avail- able, who will ever go back to the ‘real’ manuscript?”1 This in itself may already be a paradox, suggesting that the more our research focusses on the manu- script world, the more our work takes place in the digital world. However, the paradox I have in mind is about what happens next. For, when it is time to disclose our sources, we refer to the actual, material manuscript and seem to forget we ever looked at digital images. Can we identify the digital surrogate so strongly with the material artifact? Or should we say that the two have nothing to do with each other? After a discussion of how digital resources are being incorporated in a paper-based scholarly discourse, I shall discuss these two positions. I shall conclude that both are untenable. Instead, for evaluating the use of digitized manuscripts we need to describe their ‘digital materiality’. I in- troduce ten categories that can give shape to such a description and I end with a forceful call to include such a description in our publications, when we have made use of digitized manuscripts. Disclosing the use of a digital surrogate, instead of pretending like we accessed the material artifact, should become part of sound, scholarly conduct.
