        Subject: Archives, Access and AI

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that my edited collection “Archives, Access and AI” has
just been published open access:

https://www.transcript-publishing.com/978-3-8376-5584-1/archives-access-and-
artificial-intelligence/?number=978-3-8376-5584-1

Digital archives are transforming the Humanities and the Sciences. Digitized
collections of newspapers and books have pushed scholars to develop new, data-
rich methods. Born-digital archives are now better preserved and managed thanks
to the development of open-access and commercial software. Digital Humanities
have moved from the fringe to the center of academia. Yet, the path from the
appraisal of records to their analysis is far from smooth. This book explores
crossovers between various disciplines to improve the discoverability,
accessibility, and use of born-digital archives and other cultural assets.

With great chapters by Jane Winters, Mark Bell, Tom Storrar, Melissa Terras,
Martin Paul Eve, Paul Gooding, and many others! Introduction and Chapter 3 by
myself. Afterword by Richard Marciano.

A big thank you to the contributors of this edited collection. I hope it will
foster more collaborations between academics (including Humanities scholars and
computer scientists) and professionals in libraries, archives and museums.

Best wishes,
Lise
