Digitization of Archives in Venice

This lecture presents the internship experience of EPFL Digital Humanities Master students in Venice during the summer and fall of 2019. The students worked on digitizing archives on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, collaborating with the Fondazione Cini. They used various scanning techniques and developed a web application to streamline post-processing of images. Additionally, they were involved in the telemetry project of the city of Venice, capturing images in the early morning to avoid tourists and flooded streets.
