Description of Paper Machines.

New page

Paper Machines is the project of a metaLAB-affiliated scholar seeking to develop a scripting, analysis, and visualization toolkit for rapidly transforming the ephemeral, paper-based archives of development and advocacy organizations into digital textual archives durable and flexible enough to be used by scholars, journalists, and political actors.

Working with the scholar, the coder will specify and develop tools for batch-processing large numbers of scanned documents into corpora parsable by regular expression, named entities, geospatial, and other data types, and deliver those copora to a web-based interface for displaying analyses and visualizations.

The incumbent will report to Joann Guldi, historian (Harvard Society of Fellows) and Matthew Battles (metaLAB).

Skills desired include: Python, Ruby, Processing, and development of web interfaces and applications. Understanding of the needs of data-driven digital humanities research using large textual corpora in pdf, plain-text, html, and xml formats.
