Dear Colleague,
     A new electronic discussion list has been established
under mailbase. The list, history-digitisation, is concerned
with the digitisation, whether as an image or a fully
machine-readable document, of historical material. Particular
emphasis will be placed on the application of Optical Character
Recognition technology to 'difficult' material.
     Increasingly there are efforts to add content to the
World Wide Web. The UK government, through the New Opportunities
Fund, has recently announced a =A350,000,000 initiative to create
digital resources. Much of this material will be of a historical
nature. This posses unique problems - the material may be of
poor quality and hence difficult to capture, in may be rare and
fragile. This list aims to bring together experts in the field
of digitising historical material and academics who have
projects in mind.
     To join history-digitisation  go to
