OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us online on Thursday 13 February for ‘GLOBALISE: From Text to Context in the Dutch East India Company Archives’ with Kay Pepping, the latest talk in the Bodleian Bytes series, hosted by the Centre for Digital Scholarship at the Bodleian Libraries.
GLOBALISE uses digital tools such as Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and Named Entity Recognition (NER) to make the Dutch East India Company (VOC)‘s archives accessible and researchable on an unprecedented scale. In this talk, Kay Pepping demonstrates how opening up archival texts allows for contextualizing entities such as loanwords, people, and places to support new inquiries into colonial and global histories.
Free online event. Registration required.
