The Fondazione Giorgio Cini presents the courses AOA – ARCHiVe Online Academy 2021: 30 lessons dedicated to cultural heritage and digital technologies, divided into four thematic areas.

 

The first thematic area dealt with sound sources and new technologies for the digitization, automatic transcription, analysis and valorization of this specific documentary typology.

The course has been curated by the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale of the University of Padua and the partners of Fonti 4.0, a research project in the field of automatic transcription of sound sources, carried out with resources from the Regional Operational Program and co-financed with the European Social Fund 2014-2020 of the Veneto Region.

The first meeting (September 1) introduced the project Fonti 4.0 and will present other case studies and techniques for the valorization of oral sources thanks to new technologies in the context of Digital Humanities.

During the month of September, there have been seven meetings dedicated to digitization, metadata, restoration, transcription and preservation of audio recordings: lectures involved also  thematic workshops.

 

AOA presents FONTI 4.0 – Preservation, transcription, and access of analog oral sources is sponsored by the CLARIN Consortium, AISO (Italian Association of Oral History) and AISV (Italian Association of Voice Sciences).
