Objective
This project proposes to develop new interdisciplinary research competence among staff and researchers at the National University of Ireland, Galway by transferring to them up-to-date knowledge about the theories and practices of textual editing with new technologies. By encouraging new collaboration between the information sciences and the humanities, it aims to bring technological and cultural knowledge into mutually-beneficial relationship, whereby humanities research gains greater technological efficiency, and scientific research is given additional social and cultural utility.
Specifically, the project aims to develop NUI, Galway's capacity to generate innovative scholarly editions and hypertext archives of culturally-important works by combining scientific technologies of digital imaging, encoding, collation, and reproduction with editorial, critical and analytical skills derived from literary and historical studies. Knowledge-transfer will take place through the recruitment of 6 experienced researchers (3 at a senior level), and the secondment of NUI, Galway staff members to 8 international partners. The recruited researchers will advise NUI, Galway staff and students, lead seminars and workshops, and participate with staff in four pilot editing and digitisation tasks.
These activities will encourage productive synergy among literary scholars, historians, computer scientists, library archivists, and publishers in seeking solutions to problems associated with the editing and dissemination of knowledge, especially the textual heritage of European culture. They will also stimulate the establishment of new postgraduate programmes at NUI, Galway to train researchers in the fundamental skills and methodologies of both humanities and information technology. Such researchers will be well-positioned to contribute to interdisciplinary research innovation in a European knowledge-based economy.
