Tools: eAQUA

"eAQUA ist aus der langjährigen Zusammenarbeit zwischen altertumswissenschaftlichen Fächern und der Informatik an der Universität Leipzig entstanden.[...]
Im Rahmen der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit zwischen altertumswissenschaftlichen Fächern und der Informatik war das Ziel die Gewinnung von neuem strukturierten Wissen aus antiken bzw. frühneuzeitlichen Quellen und die Weiterentwicklung von Werkzeugen aus dem Bereich des Text Mining. Die hier verwendeten Suchmöglichkeiten (Kookkurrenzsuche, Zitationssuche) gehen über die üblichen Suchmöglichkeiten im Rahmen digitaler Bibliotheken hinaus und ermöglichen die Erschließung von Abhängigkeiten, Einflüssen und Transferwegen des Wissens in großem Umfang."

Conf.: (Digital) Humanities Revisited. Challenges and Opportunities in the Digital Age - Hannover 12/13

"In times of digitization, internet, and mobile communication, the
humanities can build on new, empirically driven methods to gain new
insights. But what are the implications of this mode of knowledge
production for the various disciplines subsumed under the term
humanities, their methods and research objects, and for the role the
humanities should and could play in society?

This triad will be the focus of our Herrenhausen Conference "(Digital)
Humanities Revisited - Challenges and Opportunities in the Digital Age".
Together with experts from the various fields of the humanities, the
conference would like to facilitate a dialogue between protagonists who
embrace digital tools and those following and sustaining more
traditional approaches. Amongst others, we would like to discuss the
following questions: What kind of knowledge can we expect? What could be
lost when relying solely on digitally driven methods? What are the
opportunities offered by the digital technologies, and what kind of
challenges do these developments pose for the humanities? [...]"

Resources: Digital Archive of Inaugural Lectures

"Historical studies have revealed the complexity of the pathways through which university philosophical culture has taken part in the development of knowledge from the Late Middle Ages to our times. Nonetheless, till now a full class of documents has been considered only erratically: the inaugural lectures (also known as paginae) of the single university courses given from the Renaissance to the beginning of the eighteenth century. Scholars of university history know that each of the countless inaugural lectures till extant in archives and libraries is an interesting document, revealing the tenets of university culture in a specific place and time; however, few research campaigns have been conducted on these documents with the aim of improving sistematically our understanding of the history of university culture in general, or of specific trends in it. Main obstacles to these enterprises are the large number of extant documents and their dispersion. DArIL aims to facilitate scholars to overcome these difficulties, providing them with an access to a digital collection of searchable descriptions, digital photo-reproductions and codified transcriptions of paginae."

Resources: Mediatheca Franciscana

"La biblioteca del Sacro Convento di Assisi si è costituta sin dal sec. XIII come biblioteca della comunità francescana residente presso la chiesa-santuario di S. Francesco. Gli studiosi sono ormai concordi nell’affermare che nel Sacro Convento fu attivo uno scriptorium che realizzò innanzitutto  manoscritti liturgici e omiletici destinati al culto ed all’attività pastorale e nel contempo manoscritti biblici, filosofici e teologici destinati allo studio. La produzione di questo centro scrittorio è documentata anche grazie all’uso di una grafia particolare, denominata littera assisiensis.
Accanto alla produzione libraria propria del centro scrittorio assisano notevole è stato l'arricchimento della biblioteca medievale dovuta ad acquisizioni di manoscritti prodotti in altri luoghi. La biblioteca di Assisi fu la più ricca biblioteca francescana d’Europa sino alla fine del secolo XIV, paragonabile alle prestigiose biblioteche monastiche e a quelle universitarie. L’inventario redatto da fra Giovanni di Iolo nel 1381 ne è la più significativa testimonianza.[...]"

Resources: The Serving Soldier

"The Serving Soldier Collection Library contains themed selections of photographs and other archives drawn from up to fifty of the eight hundred or so personal paper collections held by the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College London which have been selected for digitisation as part of the Serving Soldier project - a rich and and varied body of archive material that illuminates the colourful and eclectic careers of servicemen from the 1880s until 1945.
Collection Library material includes personal diaries, correspondence, photograph albums, detailed reports and memoranda, maps, posters and oral histories exploring war, peace, diplomacy and casting light on the many alternative careers pursued by servicemen - for example as explorers, inventors, writers and artists.
Among the many themed collections are snapshots of daily life in the British Empire, examples of sometimes shocking photography of the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign during the Great War, and details of the often complex British involvement in the troubled North West Frontier region and Afghanistan."

Database: European Register of Microform and Digital Masters (EROMM)

"EROMM is a consortium of libraries and library networks. The founding agreement dates back to 1994. The first group of four libraries, which had cooperated since 1990 in the second only of European Union library projects, resolved to run the register of preservation surrogates as a permanent service. Since then, EROMM has evolved from a register recording microform masters into a database recording any printed or hand-written item available in surrogate, be it on microfilm or in digital form."
