Materials collected and digitized by libraries are the core of these new technologies and disciplines.

Bryan Benilous, Chief Consultant, Paperboy Digital Consulting, will discuss how digitization of material collected by libraries, feed AI and how AI is being used to improve digitization. He will explore challenges with the existing ecosystem (silos, paywalls, biases, copyright, etc.) and dig deeper into how Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is utilized and how it is being improved by AI. Various digital humanities resources, both open access and commercial, will be highlighted. Attendees will better understand their role in the Digital Humanities and learn about resources to participate. They will be inspired to consider how their content might contribute to the broader digital corpus in support of the Digital Humanities.
