Transkribus is an important tool used in the DiViAS project. The case study “Movement in Space and Time” specifically benefits from the automatic transcriptions, which serve as the basis for subsequent named-entity recognition. #DiViAS #transkribus @rmkaiser.bsky.social

Developments in #3D-digitisation pave the way for new approaches to researching museum and archival objects that aren't possible to achieve with conventional 2D methods. In our workshop, experts from the humanities and technical sciences came together to address questions around #materiality.
