Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Digitisation methods for early printed Latin books have produced poor results, meaning that these texts are being left behind in the digital revolution. But free, open source Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software tailored to early Latin printed books being developed by Durham University could change this, reports Rachel Smith.
