The past decade has seen unprecedented growth in the scanning of manuscripts and books, and the general proliferation of digital texts. The development of “million-book” online libraries will have revolutionary consequences for how we access, explore, read, and interpret literature. Digital Humanities plays a key role in the production and analysis of these extraordinary archives. Dr. Dilley will highlight two complementary strategies for unlocking their potential: rich annotation and distant reading. Paul Dilley, Ph.D., will present this digital Humanities Lecture in the Bayley Room of the L.A. Beeghly Library. The library is located on 43 Rowland Ave., Delaware.
