The Hemingway DAT(Digitization of Annotated Texts) project in Finca Vigia, Cuba

该项目的目的是保存古巴海明威博物馆收藏的书籍、小册子和地图等9000多件纸质材料中的手写注释。这是通过数字化进程实现的。为此，作者（1）设计和制造了一台数字化机器;（2）引导机器通过复杂的官僚渠道，合法地将其带入古巴;（3）发展了有效使用机器所需的技能;（4）开始在古巴复制手写注释;（5）将数据转换成PDF文件并进行编辑。目前，25%的数据已被数字化（2000多项）。从这里开始，预计剩余项目的数字化将完成，并将创建一个档案，供世界各地的所有研究人员访问。

The purpose of this project is to conserve the handwritten annotations in more than 9000 items of paper material, such as books, brochures and maps, stored in the Hemingway Museum in Cuba. This is being done by a process of digitization. To achieve this, the author (1) designed and constructed a digitizing machine; (2) guided the machine through the complicated bureaucratic channels to bring it into Cuba legally; (3) developed the skills needed to use the machine efficiently; (4) began to digitize the handwritten annotations in Cuba; and (5) put the data into a PDF file and edited it. At present, 25% of the total number have been digitized (over 2000 items). From here onwards, it is expected that the digitization of the remaining items will be completed, and an archive will be created for all researchers around the world to access.
