Anyone - really, all skill levels - working with VOC documents, or on early modern (colonial) history of the Indian Ocean region, or with affinity to digital humanities is welcome!
Our first user panel meeting: โœ…
We discussed research methods & dealing with the language, context and structure of an early modern colonial archive.
We also got to play with markers to manually annotate events and entities in a 1674 missive!
New blog post! Stella Verkijk writes about the takeaways of our first experiments with events and frames annotation in VOC texts: https://globalise.huygens.knaw.nl/automatic-event-detection-in-early-modern-dutch-voc-documents-the-annotation-phase/
Lodewijk Petram & @MatthiasRossum illustrate how different processes within GLOBALISE come together with an example query in their latest article:

"Transforming historical research practices โ€“ a digital infrastructure for the VOC archives (GLOBALISE)"
