It discusses the implications of patrimonial capitalism in the digital humanities field, emphasizing the importance of closing the loop in digitisation projects to ensure sustainability and societal impact. The lecture also delves into the challenges and opportunities of large-scale digitisation efforts, such as acquiring genealogical records, optimising workflows, and enhancing data extraction processes.
