hela Sverige Project title: Digital scholarly editing and memory institutions
Digitization projects within memory institutions are quickly becoming more advanced, with several text and image capture phases being informed by textual/image/material criticism, and involving scholarly subject experts. To what extent are these expertise skills in digitization projects and their collections relevant to, performed by, and/or actually implemented by digital scholarly editing projects?
Objectives
This project will:
• identify the relation between various phases in the digitization process and particular scholarly editing skills, primarily textual criticism
• track and map memory institution digitization projects where several important phases in the process have been based on textual scholarship, largely performed by textual scholars
• track and map projects and cases where cooperation and interdependence between digitization experts and scholarly editors have been pronounced
• model implementation scenarios for the integration of knowledge, experiences and results from various digitization projects into digital scholarly editions
Tasks and methodology:
• Case studies of cultural heritage collection digitization projects that are, to varying degrees, based on research in textual criticism and philology. KB in Sweden may provide relevant testbeds.
• Comparative analysis of digitization vs scholarly editing as two kinds of critical transmission activities
• Analyses of digitization projects on varying levels of quality and scale to identify crucial factors affecting the value and potential of the digital material to be re-used in new projects, in a range from new digitization projects to scholarly editions (in collaboration with Editura)
• Measurement of perceived added value among digitizers, editors and other stakeholders
