Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage

We are delighted to present the program of the first international conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage (DATeCH 2014). The aim of establishing this conference is to bring together researchers in the complementary fields of Document Image Analysis and Recognition, Computational Linguistics and Digital Humanities as well as content holders and practitioners working on the creation, transformation and exploitation of historical documents in digital form. We strongly believe that there are very significant benefits in gathering such a multi-disciplinary group of experts, combining experiences and discussing ways forward for tackling the significant challenges and opportunities presented by historical documents.
