We are pleased to share with you the first episode of the Living with Machines documentary series!! Listen to the team speak about their experience and research in the project ✨ youtube.com/watch?v=A__ZJg… @turinginst @ahrcpress @UKRI_News

@RuthAhnert @khetiwe24 @technocene @Guy_S_Solomon @danedels @turinginst Finally, we thank @natlibscotmaps @natlibscot whose expertise and collaborative spirit made MapReader possible.

@RuthAhnert @khetiwe24 @technocene @Guy_S_Solomon @danedels As part of a new project at @turinginst (Data/Culture), we are designing tutorials & workshops for historians to use MapReader. The RR prize money will be used to support attendance at these workshops for colleagues who would otherwise not be able to join.

MapReader won a prize! It's an honor to have this collaborative work from @LivingwMachines recognized by the @AHAhistorians. living-with-machines.github.io/MapReader/ @turinginst @ahrcpress @NLSMaps @britishlibrary

All this was made possible by a multidisciplinary effort here at @turinginst in a collaboration between historians, linguists and data scientists, supported by @ahrcpress. (muse.jhu.edu/article/903976) <end>.

Our code and models are open and accessible here: github.com/Living-with-ma…. Please get in touch as we continue developing tools, methods and infrastructure for new computational research in the humanities. 7/n
