Digital Analytical Bibliography: Ballad Sheet Forensics, Preservation, and the Digital Archive.
- Authors
Stahmer, Carl G.
- Abstract
This essay describes the application of automated image recognition techniques to the study of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English broadside ballads. An explanation of how computer vision works is presented, followed by a discussion of the English Broadside Ballad Archive's implementation of an image recognition system developed by the author. Topics covered include contentbased search and discovery, using computer vision techniques to date publications, and automated tracking of individual pieces (sorts) of moveable type in order to map the early print industry. The essay also discusses how digital bibliography will continue to enhance scholarship of early printed materials.
