Exploring new historical sources

黑森州档案馆的任务是保存储存在其杂志中的档案材料，保护其免受碎片化，将其作为真实的文化材料向公众开放，并为将其作为历史之家进行探索做出贡献。为此，它越来越关注仓储的档案描述和数字化。所选的股票是Stockbücher、Brandkataster和Toptopische Güterverzeichnisse。这些资料仅在广度上展现了它们的全部历史意义，这很难通过实际咨询来实现，而且还包含大量的人名和地名(“命名实体”)。这些文件将被数字化，并在更详细的层面上进行部分描述。将特别注意被点名实体的待遇。最后，这些文件将与Arcinsys数据库中的相应地图一起提交。通过在网上以数字方式提供材料，黑森州档案馆不仅为历史研究提供了鲜为人知的资料来源，而且还促进了档案学和计算机科学家之间关于当前发展的讨论(手写文本识别、命名实体识别、图书管理员和档案标准文件和数据)。选定的库存几乎符合德国研究协会要求的所有标准，总量约为10,400卷，估计有2,600,000张图片(1张图片=1张双页)。这些数据将在Open Access中提供，并导入相关门户网站。该项目是黑森州档案馆推行的档案描述和数字化战略的一部分。

The Hessian State Archives have the task of preserving the archival material stored in their magazines, to protect it from fragmentation, to open it to the public as authentic cultural material, and to contribute to explore it as a house of history. To this end, it is increasingly focussing on archival description and digitization of the holdings.The selected stocks are Stockbücher, Brandkataster and topographische Güterverzeichnisse. These sources unfold their full historical significance only in their breadth, which is hardly achievable through physical consultation, and moreover contain a large number of person and place names ("named entities"). The documents will be digitized and partly described on a more detailed level. Special attention will be paid to the treatment of named entities. Finally, the documents will be presented together with the corresponding maps in the database Arcinsys. Through the digital supply of the material on the net, the Hessian State Archives not only provides very little known sources for historical research, but also contributes to the discussion of current developments between archival science and computer scientists (Handwritten Text Recognition, Named Entities Recognition, librarian and archival Standard Files and Data). The selected stocks, which meet almost all the criteria required by the German Research Association, amount to approximately 10,400 volumes with an estimated 2,600,000 images (1 image = 1 double page). The data will be available in Open Access and imported into the relevant portals. The project is part of the strategy Archival Description and Digitization pursued by the Hessian State Archives.
