Abstract

The Škofiče manuscript, kept by the Diocesan Archives in Klagenfurt, was severely damaged and thus not available for users. The paper presents the methodology of choosing the correct conservation-restoration treatments and their execution. Damaged parts were restored in such manner that the existing structural elements, which had been added to the binding through time, were kept, adjusted and included into the binding restoration. Torn and missing parts of the pages of the book block were also restored. After these treatments, the book is again available for use. Conservation-restoration treatments were performed at the Restoration and Conservation Centre of the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The tutorial provides a practical introduction to Transkribus, a comprehensive platform for the digitisation, AI-powered text recognition, transcription and searching of historical documents. The participants will learn how to run the layout analysis (also for tables and complex layouts) and train and apply Handwritten Text Recognition AI-models to automatically generate machine-readable transcriptions of images of text. In the end, they will have a general understanding of the potential of Handwritten Text Recognition to open new research questions and how Transkribus can be used to collaborate, involve volunteers and teach in DH and History classes.

Abstract

The article presents information on the effect of simmering on the chemical and mechanical properties of paper. Iron gall ink corrosion of paper threatens to destroy a large portion of historic manuscripts, records and drawings globally. A great deal of effort has been and continues to be, invested in studying and understanding the causes and pathways of iron gall ink corrosion of paper, and the efficacy of various conservation treatments. Among the many traditional treatments, "boiling paper" as a treatment for corroded iron gall ink documents has been used for more than 30 years 68.

7. The Digital-Age Challenges of Preserving "Personal" Content: Manuscript Drafts, Correspondence, & Social Movements.

Abstract

This paper outlines the crisis facing Archives in an age when the material they traditionally acquire is mostly available only in digital form. It discusses how the first stage (writing on computers instead of paper) was exacerbated by the 2nd stage (messages and files hosted on social networks and external services in the Cloud). Placing this in the context of previous studies advocating archivist intervention within the workflow of the creator, it discusses strategies for nudging creators to alter practices so that their works will be more preservable. The presentation will be couched within a case study of efforts to archive user-generated media related to the "Occupy" Movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
