Historical Analysis of Audience Reception - Project details (Historical Analysis of Audience Reception "LiKuRez")

retrocontext.de

In recent years, a large number of texts have been made freely available for literary research, often through retro-digitalization in various digitalization programmes - mainly in libraries - in the last years. This can be a problem for research endeavors in the Arts and Humanities, as these retro-digitalized objects cannot be found through one single search interface, search hits at different libraries and data providers are not comparable and, since searches must be undertaken in a decentralized way, can’t be saved and re-used centrally. This basic problem persists throughout the Arts and Humanities. The project is developing a tool for searching and working with dispersed sources in a way adaptable to specific project requirements.
