Transcribathon Zagreb 2022
7 - 11 November
Transcribathon Zagreb cjelotjedni je događaj koji će se održati od 7. do 11. studenog na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Na događaju će sudjelovati studenti Odsjeka za informacijske i komunikacijske znanosti kao budući djelatnici baštinskih ustanova kako bi dobili nova iskustva koja će primjenjivati u svojem budućem radu. Sudjelovanjem na ovom događaju studenti će omogućiti veću pristupačnost izabranih dijelova fondova i zbirki povjesničarima, istraživačima, svojim kolegama i ostaloj zainteresiranoj javnosti. Studenti će prepisivati podatke s dokumenata te ih poboljšavati dodavanjem datuma, mjesta, identificiranjem osoba ili drugih povijesnih podataka.
Za događaj će se koristiti rukom pisani dokumenti koji su do sada bili dostupni samo u analognom obliku, na papiru i drugim materijalima. Manji dio dokumenata bio je digitaliziran i ranije, ali su oni bili dostupni samo u radnom prostoru Državnog arhiva u Zagrebu. Sudjelovanjem u ovom događaju Državni arhiv u Zagrebu dobiva novu platformu za prezentaciju svojeg gradiva i mogućnosti koje ono skriva.
Transcribathon Zagreb is a week-long event that will take place from November 7th to 11th at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb. The main participants of the event are students of the Department of Information and Communication Sciences. As future employees of heritage institutions, they will gain new experiences that they could apply in their future work. By participating in this event, students will work on selected parts of funds and collections ensuring them more accessibility to historians, researchers, their colleagues, and other interested members of the public. Students will transcribe data from documents and enhance them by adding dates, places, and identifying people or other historical information.
The event will use handwritten documents, which until now were only available in analog form, on paper and other materials. A small part of the documents had been digitized before, but they were only available in the workspace of the State Archives in Zagreb. By participating in this event, the State Archives in Zagreb gets a new platform for the presentation of its material and the possibilities it hides.
