ICT Guides is a service offered by the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS) at King’s College, London (soon to be the Centre for eResearch CeRch). It seeks to promote the use of ICTs in research and learning through cataloging digital arts and humanities projects along with the tools and methods they employed.
A number of new projects have been added to ICT Guides: http://ahds.ac.uk/ictguides/projects/allProjects.jsp
Highlight:
Proceedings of the Central Criminal Court 1834 – 1913, Online
” The Central Criminal Court Online is digitising and posting in a searchable form 70 million words of transcripts of trials held at the Old Bailey between 1834 and 1913. It forms an extension to the NOF and AHRB funded project ‘The Old Bailey Online’, and forms a seamless body of text detailing all trials held between 1674 and 1834. In total approximately 125 million words of text is available. By tagging the rekeyed and OCRd text in XML for names, offences, trial outcomes, punishments, etc., the site allows comprehensive statistical information to be generated. ”
