Experimental working group working on generating transcriptions of archival documents using machine learning
Sponsored by the Vanderbilt Library Digital Scholarship and Communications Office
Students shared their favorite stories from the diary to this digital exhibit. We used the Omeka digital publishing platform, designed for cultural heritage institutions, and introduced students to Dublin Core metadata standard.
