NWO-funding for development of an annotation tool for historical sources
The massive digitisation of cultural heritage such as historical books, archive documents and images, offers unique opportunities to enrich historical sources with knowledge from a wide range of user groups (such as professional or amateur historians). In the project ‘Annotating History: Managing Digital Heritage Interactively’, historians from Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ will work together with Brill Publishers, Museum Huis Doorn and the ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ Library to design a versatile annotation tool, based on a prototype that was developed in the project (2012-2014).
The project, initiated at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ by Prof. (department of Languages, Literature and Communication) and ir. (ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ Library), has received funding from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), in the context of the 'Alfa Meerwaarde' funding programme.
