Please join the Metadata and Digital Objects Section (MDOS) of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) for our virtual August MetaChat on Thursday, August 6, at 2PM EST (11AM PST).
We'll be joined by Dr. Daniel Genkins,
Director of the Digital Lab and Curator of the Slave Societies Digital Archive (SSDA) at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Genkins will discuss the scope of the project, which now contains over 700,000 digitized images of early modern records detailing the lives of people of African descent around the Atlantic, as well as how it led him to design
Archivault, a customizable AI-powered tool for processing electronic records, executing full-text transcription for any language or script, and creating metadata that conforms to your local needs.
MetaChat is open to ALL, so please share the invitation.
Note: MetaChat is never recorded so participants can discuss issues freely.
Best, Jaime
