IIS-9817483Seales, William B.University of Kentucky Res Fdn$499,924 - 36 monthsThe Digital Atheneum: New techniques for restoring, searching, and editing humanities collectionsThis work will develop new digital libraries from aging and damagedportions of the Cottonian Collection at the British Library, tailoredto the requirements of scholars in the humanities.The result of this project will be state-of-the-art technical approaches,tools that incorporate those new approaches, and a widely distributed digitallibrary of restored, previously inaccessible manuscripts.In particular, the technical focus will encompass the following importantresearch areas: o Continued development of new illumination techniques for damaged and aging manuscripts using novel lighting methods to make it possible to recover markings and information that would otherwise be invisible o Creation of a semantic object model and framework for creating digital collections that will support domain or data-specific restoration and content-based search/access o Incorporation of novel processing techniques for digitally restoring, enhancing, and searching/annotating manuscripts that have suffered damage from fire, water, and agingThe project has strong support from IBM through the Shared UniversityResearch (SUR). Likewise, partnership with the British Library providespriviledged access to high-quality collections, manuscript and curatorexpertise, and digitization facilities.
