University of Pennsylvania

The Mapping Manuscript Migrations project brings together researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the U.S., Finland, France and the United Kingdom. The project will use Linked Open Data standards to digitally connect premodern manuscripts from Europe and North America. By linking diverse sources of data, the project aims to carry out large-scale analyses and visualizations of the history of these manuscripts. The project team hopes this coherent, interoperable infrastructure will allow researchers to ask new kinds of questions at a scale never before possible. This award supports the U.S. team's participation. International partner organizations are supported through awards made by funders in their respective countries.
