As part of #HistFest23 yesterday, Anne Dolan and Eve Morrison spoke about their work editing and transcribing the Ernie O'Malley Notebooks using the software Transkribus. The IMC will publish their work in 8 vols from 2024. UCD Digital Library will then publish the digitised notebooks online with the transcriptions. Eve gave an overview of Ernie's notebooks. Anne discussed what Transkribus makes possible, but also what it can't do and how humans are still necessary to deal with the subtleties.

For #HistFest23 Drs Anne Dolan and Eve Morrison show how ground-breaking software Transkribus read the famously illegible notebooks of Ernie O'Malley, Irish revolutionary.

A public lecture discussing the project to transcribe and edit the notebooks will be held at noon, Saturday 7 October in 45 Merrion Sq.

The notebooks form part of Ernie O'Malley's papers held in UCD Archives.
