When history goes digital | news @ Northeastern

Researchers are increas­ingly seeing the value of dig­i­tizing old
man­u­scripts, texts, and other doc­u­ments. By poring through these
dig­i­tally archived records using advanced visu­al­iza­tion and data
mining tech­niques, scholars can create new teaching tools and develop
research projects that reveal fas­ci­nating insights into cul­ture,
his­tory, sci­ence, health trends, you name it.

A founding tool of such work is the Text Encoding Ini­tia­tive, which
estab­lishes lan­guage and guide­lines for dig­i­tizing and curating
schol­arly data. Yet while text encoding allows for pub­lishing,
pre­serving, and sharing this infor­ma­tion, many poten­tial
users—including scholars, archivists, librar­ians, teachers, and
students—lack access to and under­standing of TEI resources.
