What an impressive project and a fascinating way to bring early modern maritime history to life!
A 3D ship model of the Bremen ship CONCORDIA – captured 1758 – is currently in development in close cooperation with Oliver Urrea from Flinders University. The model is based on historical documents from the @prizepapers.bsky.social as well as historical ship models.

Transkribus is an important tool used in the DiViAS project. The case study “Movement in Space and Time” specifically benefits from the automatic transcriptions, which serve as the basis for subsequent named-entity recognition.

How can objects held in European museums be made accessible to the #Tlingit in Alaska? What role can #3D-digitisation play? We were honoured to welcome representatives of the Tlingit community, Joe Zuboff & Garfield George, researchers and museum professionals at the State Museum Nature and Human.

Developments in #3D-digitisation pave the way for new approaches to researching museum and archival objects that aren't possible to achieve with conventional 2D methods. In our workshop, experts from the humanities and technical sciences came together to address questions around #materiality.

Maischberger blendet die Beleidigungen des rechtsradikalen Tech Milliardärs Elon Musk gegen Scholz auf X in ihrer Sendung ein als Beleg für die Unpopularität des Bundeskanzlers. Der Rest des Interviews ist auf diesem Niveau. Das ist kein professioneller Journalismus der Öffentlich Rechtlichen.

Dear followers, we are all devastated about what happened to our colleague Luan. Please consider donating, see below. And consider signing a petition to forbid private fireworks which you find here innn.it/boellerverbot

#Oldenburg Angesichts dieser furchtbaren Verletzungen auch in diesem Jahr von Unbeteiligten muss die Stadt aufgefordert werden, private Feuerwerke zu untersagen. Stattdessen könnte ein öffentliches Feuerwerk organisiert werden wie in anderen Ländern auch.
Auch in der Provinz verlief die Silvesternacht laut Nordwest-Zeitung #Oldenburg „wie erwartet“ mit Schwerverletzten etc.
