本文探讨了Duchas项目，国家Folklore收藏（NFC）之间的合作在大学学院都柏林（UCD）和Fiontar在都柏林城市大学，其目的是创建一个数字在线版本的集合。该项目的当前阶段由艺术，遗产和爱尔兰语事务部和UCD资助，尽管最初的试点项目完全由该部门资助。在试点阶段，四个州的学校藏书实现了数字化。本项目阶段将继续侧重于学校藏书的数字化以及改进和增加网站的功能。
这篇文章简要介绍了学校收藏的历史，学校收藏是20世纪30年代末由小学生收集的大量民间传说。它包含来自全国各地的材料，该计划的范围已导致它成为NFC的各种收藏品中最知名的，大多数访问者通过家庭或朋友参与该项目来吸引UCD的NFC。正是出于这个原因，它被选为数字化的优先事项。
以下是对数字化过程各个阶段的详细描述，以及为实现这一目标而创建的资源。最后一节详细介绍了对学校收藏材料进行数字编目的过程，并指出了其中涉及的一些挑战以及增加材料价值的机会，例如将其与爱尔兰地名数据库等其他权威数字资源链接。
Duchas项目被放置在NFC多年来逐渐开放的背景下，从批准学者的资源只到UCD的可访问档案。这一在线迭代将使材料更容易获得，特别是对那些位于爱尔兰以外的人，并通过额外的编目和搜索功能增加价值。
This article examines the Duchas project, a collaboration between the National Folklore Collection (NFC) in University College Dublin (UCD) and Fiontar in Dublin City University, which aims to create a digital online version of the Collection. The current phase of the project is being funded by the Department of Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht Affairs and by UCD although an initial pilot project was funded entirely by the Department. That pilot phase saw the digitization of four counties from the Schools’ Collection. The current project phase will continue to focus on digitizing the Schools’ Collection and on improving and adding to the functionality of the website.
The article looks briefly at the history of the Schools’ Collection, a vast collection of folklore collected by primary school pupils in the late 1930s. It contains material from all over the country and the extent of the scheme has led to it becoming the best known of the NFC’s various collections, with the majority of visitors to the NFC in UCD drawn there by the involvement of family or friends in the project. It is for this reason that it was chosen as a priority for digitization.
There follows a detailed description of the various stages of the digitization process and of the resources that have been created to enable this. The final section details the process of digitally cataloguing the Schools’ Collection material and notes some of the challenges that this involves as well as opportunities to add value to the material such as by linking it to other authoritative digital resources such as the Placenames Database of Ireland.
The Duchas project is placed in context of the gradual opening up of the NFC over the years from a resource for approved scholars only to a publically accessible archive in UCD. This online iteration will make the material more accessible still, particularly to those located outside of Ireland, as well as adding value through additional cataloguing and search functionality.
