The workshop has two aims. One is for participants to gain individual experience with Transkribus. The other is for early modern historians in Denmark to jointly train a specific Transkribus model to read Danish gothic minuscule.

Do not miss out of this important digital step for early modern history!

The workshop includes:

· An introduction to Transkribus by Dr. Christel Annemieke Romein (University of Ghent) who have used Transkribus extensively in the course of her own research;

· ‘Hands-on’ experience with help from Dr. Romein;

· Talk by Aarhus City Archive about their use of Transkribus for crowdsourcing on a large scale;

· Basic introduction to data management in relation to Transkribus.

Before the workshop, you need to set up Transkribus on your computer. You can do it on your own or with help from us. If you chose to do it on your own, please register as Transkribus-user, download the program to your computer, gain a model-training button (this is done on request and can take up to a week) and make sure you have the right Java version (all instructions are available at transkribus.eu)

If you prefer to have help setting up Transkribus, please join us and Information Specialist Max Odsbjerg Pedersen (AU Library) on 29th Tuesday October between 2 and 3 pm (room 1463-515).
