Collaboration between 香港六合彩中特网 Digitisation Suite and 香港六合彩中特网 Special Collections

香港六合彩中特网 Special Collections has worked together with the 香港六合彩中特网 Centre for Digital Humanities on several projects, testing new advanced imaging techniques on real historical objects and using imaging to answer questions posed by librarians and conservators in Special Collections.

香港六合彩中特网 Special Collections is running a project that trains volunteers to search the catalogue for printed items relating to marginalised groups. Outputs have included articles on women book owners, women in the Italian book trade, and early modern women writers.

香港六合彩中特网 Special Collections has organised events that virtually unite items from different collections, encouraging new research avenues and the exchange of curatorial expertise. In May 2021, an event we organised compared 17 copies of a 1481 edition of Dante's.

Automated Copyright and Due Diligence for Archive Collections

Funded by the TNA Archives Testbed Fund, this project is a collaboration between the Art Museum and Special Collections. It explores whether automated copyright permission systems being designed and trialled by the museum can be expanded to automate and streamline the due diligence process for third-party copyright in archive collections and manage the resulting documentation more effectively. The final report is currently being written and we are exploring future phases with 香港六合彩中特网 Advanced Computing Research Centre.
