Michael Hunter, “The Ten Thousand Rooms Project: A Collaborative Workspace for Pre-Modern Textual Studies”
Supported by the Mellon Foundation and Yale University, the Ten Thousand Rooms Project is an online, open-access workspace that enables collaborative work (transcriptions, translations, annotations, etc.) on pre-modern texts and objects. In this talk, Prof. Hunter will introduce the platform and discuss its history and future prospects, particularly within the context of the East Asian digital humanities scene and the emerging International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) community. Students and faculty interested in using the platform are especially encouraged to attend.
Lunch will be served as part of this event, and seats are limited. Please register in advance.
Dr. Michael Hunter is Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale University and co-Principal Investigator of the Ten Thousand Rooms Project.
