		+
		+	Posted January 4th, 2011 by Dr Robyn Adams
		+
		+	CELL is now accepting applications for entry to the MA/MRes for the academic year 2012-13!
		+
		+	The MA/MRes in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies provides a research qualification unique in the United Kingdom. It has been designed for students with an established interest in archival research, critical editing, life-writing and intellectual histories. The central aim of the programme is to train students in the skills they require to pursue these interests.
		+
		+	The compulsory core course provides the skills required for archival research in manuscript and early modern print production. The course is taught by seminars, workshops and field trips to relevant institutions including the Plantin-Moretus Print Museum in Antwerp. A Latin class enables even beginners to become sufficiently familiar with Latin primers and dictionaries to be able to make ad hoc translations of Latin phrases, sentences and short texts. Students are also trained in IT to ensure that they have access to the full range of resources needed for modern scholarship. Modular courses on a range of topics, including life writing and early modern reading, encourage students to use these skills intellectually and creatively, as does the dissertation.

		+	- The database is the creation of Bruce M. S. Campbell, Professor of Medieval Economic History within the School of Geography, Archaeology, and Palaeoecology at The Queen’s University of Belfast (QUB).
		+	- The "Database" may be searched by crop, harvest year, manor, estate, county, region, and any combination of the same.  All that is required is that users identify themselves by registering. The yields given are yields per seed, gross of tithe (assumed to have been every tenth sheaf deducted in the field) and net of seed.  The database cannot be amended but a “Wiki” page is available where any corrections and additions can be noted along with other relevant comments. It is anticipated that the database will be corrected, added to, and extended as more data become available.  Meanwhile, the “Chronologies” facility offers a series of reconstructed annual chronologies for each of the principal crops and combinations of the same.  These have no counterpart for any other country or period before the 19th century and will be of particular value to archaeologists, historians, economists, environmentalists, and agronomists.  They have been derived from the spatially and chronologically discontinuous raw yield data using the regression facility available within the STATA statistical software package.

		+
		+	- This blog was started to track my own work developing FromThePage to transcribe Julia Brumfield's diaries. As I type, beta.fromthepage.com hosts 1503 transcribed pages—of which 988 are indexed and annotated—and volunteers are now waiting on me to prepare and upload more page images. Major developments in 2010 included the release of FromThePage on GitHub under a Free software license and installation of the software by the Balboa Park Online Collaborative for transcription projects by their member institutions.
		+	- Probably the biggest news this year was TranscribeBentham, a project at University College London to crowdsource the transcription of Jeremy Bentham's papers. This involved the development of Transcription Desk, a MediaWiki-based tool which is slated to be released under an open-source license. The team of volunteers had transcribed 737 pages of very difficult handwriting when I last consulted the Benthamometer. The Bentham team has done more than any other transcription tool to publicize the field -- explaining their work on their blog, reaching out through the media (including articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education and the New York Times), and even highlighting other transcription projects on Melissa Terras's blog.
		+	- The Balboa Park Online Collaborative is going into collaborative transcription in a big way with the Field Notes of Laurence Klauber for the San Diego Natural History Museum. They've picked my own FromThePage to host their transcriptions, and have been driving a lot of the development on that system since October through their enthusiastic feature requests, bug reports, and funding. Future transcription projects are in the early planning stages, but we're trying to complete features suggested by the Klauber material first.

		+
		+	- "DM is an environment for the study and annotation of images and texts. It is a suite of tools, enabling scholars to gather and organize the evidence necessary to support arguments based in digitized resources. DM enables users to mark fragments of interest in manuscripts, print materials, photographs, etc. and provide commentary on these resources and the relationships among them. A principle objective in this project is to continue to develop our understanding of scholarly work processes in order to effectively support research as it is practiced now, while opening the door for new methods of scholarship to emerge."

		+	** 3. T-PEN has been providing access to support tools for transcribers.  These tools are available on a split screen display. To date we have provided access to various language dictionaries, a dictionary of Latin abbreviations, and the Latin Vulgate Bible.  We know that soon many T-PEN users will want tools for transcribing manuscripts that are not pre-modern Latin.  To that end, T-PEN now permits users to identify a URL for a tool that a user may want to have displayed.  Under the "options" tab on project management, a user can add the name and the URL of the tool and that will be added to the buttons on the Transcription User Interface.  Please note: Users should be aware that this "i-frame" set up does provide full browser functionality.  If you are using a tool which requires authentication in advance (especially if it is via an institutional proxy), we recommend you establish the authentication first in that browser before loading that tool.  You can do this by loading the tool in anther tab and completing the authentication process (login, etc.).  When T-PEN is loaded in the same browser, but different tab, that authenticiation will persist.

		+	- A web-based text analysis environment, part of the Hermeneuti.ca, a collaborative project to develop and theorize text analysis tools and text analysis rhetoric
		+
		+	- What you can do with Voyeur:
		+	* use texts in a variety of formats including plain text, HTML, XML, PDF, RTF and MS Word
		+	* use texts from different locations, including URLs and uploaded files
		+	* perform lexical analysis including the study of frequency and distribution data; in particular
		+	* export data into other tools (as XML, tab separated values, etc.)
		+	* embed live tools into remote web sites that can accompany or complement your own content
		+
		+	- Voyeur is a work in progress – it is currently in beta. Some things don't work properly, some planned features aren't available yet. In particular, here are some weaknesses that we recognize:
		+
		+	* lack of more advanced linguistic processing (lemmatization, parts of speech, semantic awareness)
		+	* lack of XML-aware analytic features (though XML is a valid input format)
		+	the current default skin (configuration of tools) is not well-suited to reading texts
		+	some of the user documentation is a bit bare
		+	other funcitonality:
		+	* proximity searching of terms
		+	* multi-word (n-gram) views (though you can search for specific phrases)

		+
		+	- "In England, the historical developments of place-names over time have been systematically surveyed since 1922 by the specialists of the English Place-Name Society (EPNS). Examining an extensive range of documentary sources in local and national archives, and gathering the knowledge of local communities and experts, the EPNS has built up an 86-volume county by county survey of England’s place-names – detailing over four million variant forms, from classical sources, through the Anglo-Saxon period and into medieval England and beyond to the modern period. JISC’s Digital Exposure of English Place-Names (DEEP) project will digitise all these forms, and make them available as structured data. The corpus will be comprise a gazetteer within JISC’s Unlock service, meaning that researchers will be able to cross-query the dataset, and use it to search their own digital documents and databases for any historic place-name form. The gazetteer data will also be made available in structured XML, meaning that it will be possible to experiment with methods of data mining and visualisation that are not possible with the paper volumes. In addition to the digitisation, a network of experts will be convened to correct and enhance the dataset"

CELL MA/MRes

CELL MA/MRes

Are you interested in the CELL MA/MRes?

Posted January 4th, 2011 by Dr Robyn Adams

CELL is now accepting applications for entry to the MA/MRes for the academic year 2012-13!

The MA/MRes in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies provides a research qualification unique in the United Kingdom. It has been designed for students with an established interest in archival research, critical editing, life-writing and intellectual histories. The central aim of the programme is to train students in the skills they require to pursue these interests.

The compulsory core course provides the skills required for archival research in manuscript and early modern print production. The course is taught by seminars, workshops and field trips to relevant institutions including the Plantin-Moretus Print Museum in Antwerp. A Latin class enables even beginners to become sufficiently familiar with Latin primers and dictionaries to be able to make ad hoc translations of Latin phrases, sentences and short texts. Students are also trained in IT to ensure that they have access to the full range of resources needed for modern scholarship. Modular courses on a range of topics, including life writing and early modern reading, encourage students to use these skills intellectually and creatively, as does the dissertation.

If you would like more information, contact r.adams@qmul.ac.uk or explore our website for more details.

Crop yields

National medieval crop yields database
- The database is the creation of Bruce M. S. Campbell, Professor of Medieval Economic History within the School of Geography, Archaeology, and Palaeoecology at The Queen’s University of Belfast (QUB).
- The "Database" may be searched by crop, harvest year, manor, estate, county, region, and any combination of the same. All that is required is that users identify themselves by registering. The yields given are yields per seed, gross of tithe (assumed to have been every tenth sheaf deducted in the field) and net of seed. The database cannot be amended but a “Wiki” page is available where any corrections and additions can be noted along with other relevant comments. It is anticipated that the database will be corrected, added to, and extended as more data become available. Meanwhile, the “Chronologies” facility offers a series of reconstructed annual chronologies for each of the principal crops and combinations of the same. These have no counterpart for any other country or period before the 19th century and will be of particular value to archaeologists, historians, economists, environmentalists, and agronomists. They have been derived from the spatially and chronologically discontinuous raw yield data using the regression facility available within the STATA statistical software package.

Manuscript crowdsourcing blogs & examples

Brumfield, Ben W., 2010: The Year of Crowdsourcing Transcription, Wednesday, February 2, 2011

- This blog was started to track my own work developing FromThePage to transcribe Julia Brumfield's diaries. As I type, beta.fromthepage.com hosts 1503 transcribed pages—of which 988 are indexed and annotated—and volunteers are now waiting on me to prepare and upload more page images. Major developments in 2010 included the release of FromThePage on GitHub under a Free software license and installation of the software by the Balboa Park Online Collaborative for transcription projects by their member institutions.
- Probably the biggest news this year was TranscribeBentham, a project at University College London to crowdsource the transcription of Jeremy Bentham's papers. This involved the development of Transcription Desk, a MediaWiki-based tool which is slated to be released under an open-source license. The team of volunteers had transcribed 737 pages of very difficult handwriting when I last consulted the Benthamometer. The Bentham team has done more than any other transcription tool to publicize the field -- explaining their work on their blog, reaching out through the media (including articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education and the New York Times), and even highlighting other transcription projects on Melissa Terras's blog.
- The Balboa Park Online Collaborative is going into collaborative transcription in a big way with the Field Notes of Laurence Klauber for the San Diego Natural History Museum. They've picked my own FromThePage to host their transcriptions, and have been driving a lot of the development on that system since October through their enthusiastic feature requests, bug reports, and funding. Future transcription projects are in the early planning stages, but we're trying to complete features suggested by the Klauber material first.

DM: Tools for digital annotation and linking

DM: Tools for digital annotation and linking

- "DM is an environment for the study and annotation of images and texts. It is a suite of tools, enabling scholars to gather and organize the evidence necessary to support arguments based in digitized resources. DM enables users to mark fragments of interest in manuscripts, print materials, photographs, etc. and provide commentary on these resources and the relationships among them. A principle objective in this project is to continue to develop our understanding of scholarly work processes in order to effectively support research as it is practiced now, while opening the door for new methods of scholarship to emerge."

T-PEN ver. 2.0

T-PEN (Transcription for Paleographical and Editorial Notation)

- Released T-PEN version 2.0 at www.t-pen.org, May 2012

• • 1. Users can now upload their own image set for transcriptions. These sets must be comprised of jpeg files and have to be zipped together. This kind of project is automatically designated as private. The manuscript shelf mark is not listed in T-PEN's catalog and the project leader can add a maximum of five additional users to the project. The images are hosted on T-PEN under the terms of the Fair Use section of the US Millenium Copyright Act. To upload your images, select the "Advanced' tab on the landing page and follow the instructions.

• • 2. T-PEN now fully supports crowd-sourcing projects. These projects can be fully public (so both the project attributes and content can be modified by anyone) or have limited access. These projects are listed under the "Public Projects" tab on the landing page. Any project can be designated as public using the options in the Project Management page. All projects that have been T-PEN use cases at the the Center for Digital Theology will be listed as public projects (content will be readable only).

• • 3. T-PEN has been providing access to support tools for transcribers. These tools are available on a split screen display. To date we have provided access to various language dictionaries, a dictionary of Latin abbreviations, and the Latin Vulgate Bible. We know that soon many T-PEN users will want tools for transcribing manuscripts that are not pre-modern Latin. To that end, T-PEN now permits users to identify a URL for a tool that a user may want to have displayed. Under the "options" tab on project management, a user can add the name and the URL of the tool and that will be added to the buttons on the Transcription User Interface. Please note: Users should be aware that this "i-frame" set up does provide full browser functionality. If you are using a tool which requires authentication in advance (especially if it is via an institutional proxy), we recommend you establish the authentication first in that browser before loading that tool. You can do this by loading the tool in anther tab and completing the authentication process (login, etc.). When T-PEN is loaded in the same browser, but different tab, that authenticiation will persist.

Hermeneutica

See Hermeneuti.ca - the rhetoric of text analysis

- A collaborative project by Stéfan Sinclair & Geoffrey Rockwell
- Stéfan Sinclair: Professor of Digital Humanities, McGill University
- Geoffrey Rockwell

See Hermeneutica.ca blog

See Voyeur

- A web-based text analysis environment, part of the Hermeneuti.ca, a collaborative project to develop and theorize text analysis tools and text analysis rhetoric

- What you can do with Voyeur:

• use texts in a variety of formats including plain text, HTML, XML, PDF, RTF and MS Word
• use texts from different locations, including URLs and uploaded files
• perform lexical analysis including the study of frequency and distribution data; in particular
• export data into other tools (as XML, tab separated values, etc.)
• embed live tools into remote web sites that can accompany or complement your own content

- Voyeur is a work in progress – it is currently in beta. Some things don't work properly, some planned features aren't available yet. In particular, here are some weaknesses that we recognize:

• lack of more advanced linguistic processing (lemmatization, parts of speech, semantic awareness)
• lack of XML-aware analytic features (though XML is a valid input format)

the current default skin (configuration of tools) is not well-suited to reading texts
some of the user documentation is a bit bare
other funcitonality:

• proximity searching of terms
• multi-word (n-gram) views (though you can search for specific phrases)

- Other collections to be added later this year include those from Harvard University, the New York Public Library, the National Library of Wales, the Bodleian Library at Oxford and several major European libraries

See Digital Exposure of English Place-Names (DEEP)

- "In England, the historical developments of place-names over time have been systematically surveyed since 1922 by the specialists of the English Place-Name Society (EPNS). Examining an extensive range of documentary sources in local and national archives, and gathering the knowledge of local communities and experts, the EPNS has built up an 86-volume county by county survey of England’s place-names – detailing over four million variant forms, from classical sources, through the Anglo-Saxon period and into medieval England and beyond to the modern period. JISC’s Digital Exposure of English Place-Names (DEEP) project will digitise all these forms, and make them available as structured data. The corpus will be comprise a gazetteer within JISC’s Unlock service, meaning that researchers will be able to cross-query the dataset, and use it to search their own digital documents and databases for any historic place-name form. The gazetteer data will also be made available in structured XML, meaning that it will be possible to experiment with methods of data mining and visualisation that are not possible with the paper volumes. In addition to the digitisation, a network of experts will be convened to correct and enhance the dataset"
