👋 Hello, this is the Digital Orientalist again, still on our takeover week! We share our digital toolbox with medievalists: same HTR, the same pipelines. What changes, once you turn those tools on non-Western manuscripts, is the method. This thread is about where these approaches meet and part.🧵

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.
