Abstract [sv]

Kulturarvsdigitalisering utgör inte sällan en komplicerad kedja av händelser, aktörer samt tekniska och kvalitetsmässiga alternativ. Samtidigt närmar sig både allmänhet och forskare digitala reproduktioner (s.k. digitalisat) med en ”face value”-attityd. Digitalisatet antas vara identiskt med det fysiska originalet, trots att det egentligen är en simulering, och trots att en serie av redigeringar ofta har företagits mellan den ursprungliga bildfångsten och det användaren ser framför sig på skärmen. Dessutom saknas ofta den historiska och bibliografiska länken mellan det användaren ser på skärmen och det fysiska föremål detta påstår sig avbilda. Sådana länkar uttrycker digital proveniens. Digitalisering antas föra samhällets kulturarv närmare användaren, men paradoxalt nog kan på det här sättet ytterligare avstånd införas mellan kulturarv och allmänhet. Vilka verktyg kan de digitaliserande institutionerna erbjuda för att användare ska kunna bedöma digitalisatens proveniens, autenticitet och tillförlitlighet?

Abstract [en]

Scholarly users of digital reproductions (so-called facsimiles) in digitized collections tend to approach the reproductions on a face value basis, but how can they be certain that what they see on the screen is "the same" as the physical source document the reproduction purports to reproduce? Digitizing institutions may provide keys for the user to unlock this kind of digital provenance, where paradata and metadata will be important, together with e.g. extant project documentation, paratextual material, and access to the uncompressed master files from which the reproduction presented on screen derives.

Abstract [sv]

Den vetenskapliga textutgivningens forskningsobjekt är definitionsmässigt ’text’’. Historiskt har produkten av detta textkritiska arbete framför allt antagit formen av en enskild etablerad, sekventiell transkriptionstext. Dagens digitala utgåvor letar efter andra former, vyer och nivåer. Mest omedelbart sker detta genom s.k. digitala faksimiler som åtföljer hela transkriptionstexten. Faksimilerna ska verifiera grunden för den etablerade transkriptionstexten genom att erbjuda fotografier av textvittnen som ett slags objektiva rådata, gentemot vilka användaren t.ex. kritiskt kan pröva utgivarens textetablering. Men hur vet användaren vad det är för avbildad källa han eller hon ser framför sig på skärmen, finns t.ex. uppgifter om reproduktionens proveniens? Man kan också ifrågasätta faksimilbildernas objektivitet. Behöver vi ”se” dem med en mer (text)kritisk blick? Finns det rentav anledning att betrakta dem som delar av utgivarens forskningsobjekt på nivå med ’text’?

Abstract [en]

The concepts of original and copy, of source and facsimile, always convey particular understandings of the process of reproducing documents. This essay is an analysis of these concepts, in particular copies and facsimiles, framed within the context of digital reproduction. The activities and cases discussed are picked from two areas: digital scholarly editing and cultural heritage digitization performed by research libraries. The conceptual analysis draws on three fields of scholarly inquiry: scholarly editing, library and information science, and philosophical aesthetics.

Abstract [en]

Provenance research in digitized memory institution collections is mainly devoted to documenting and mapping the trajectories of the physical source documents across time, place and contexts, primarily by developing metadata standards and data models. The provenance of the digital reproduction and its relation to one or several physical source documents is however not being subjected to much inquiry. A possible explanation for this is the face-value approach with which we tend to regard digital reproductions. Looking more closely at such reproductions and their complex digitization process suggests a far from straightforward and linear provenance relation, and begs the question of what it is we actually see on the screen and what source document the digital reproduction purports to reproduce. To ascertain this provenance bond and hence the value, authenticity and usability of the digital reproduction, users need to be provided with keys such as a thorough account of the digitization process, access to various states of the digital images, exhaustive metadata for the reproduction, and not least paradata documenting the digitization process, including conversion, editing, curation, and decisions made during the process.

Abstract [en]

However you define digital humanities (DH), it often revolves around digitized objects at libraries and archives. In particular, such digital reproductions are used within digital scholarly editions. There, the digital facsimiles are not only illustrations supporting a scholarly text transcription, but can also serve as research tools and instruments for accountability and accessibility. Nevertheless, the “critical gaze” of scholarly editors and DH is directed at text transcriptions, whereas digital facsimiles are often uncritically taken at face value. There seems to be room for an increased critical understanding of such images as interpretations based on scholarly informed deliberation. Partly, this “face value” approach is fostered by the paradigm of mass digitization, where image capture is considered a trivial and straight-forward task. But many projects and materials need other approaches, and labels such as critical digitization (Dahlström 2010) or slow digitization (Prescott & Hughes 2018) suggest alternative strategies. In fact, whereas several library digitization projects seem to take on the form of scholarly editing, recent trends in digital scholarly editing such as documentary editing seem to overlap with library digitization. How do these activities relate to one another, and what can they learn from each other? In this talk, I will address some of the critical considerations libraries face when digitizing their holdings, with significant bearing on the value and (re)usability of the digital reproductions when placed within a scholarly context. Examples from digitized library collections will be used to support a discussion on authenticity, provenance, accessibility, openness, (re)usability, social engagement and collaborative efforts.

Abstract [en]

The aim of the paper is to share the experience of collaboration among Scandinavian iSchools in creating and implementing a joint course. The authors explore their own activity and documentation produced in relation to the collaboration around the development and implementation of the advanced course on ebooks. The results of the collaboration are expressed in terms of new experience, knowledge, and implementation of a new course on the advanced level for library and information science students. The results of the paper generalize these experiences and present the challenges and lessons learned in the process of collaboration. The paper presents a workable administrative model for cross-national joint courses. In addition, it outlines design and teaching methods for a Master’s course on e-books for library and information science students. A joint course with a shared syllabus and cross-national teacher teams gives added value to the students by getting the best out of the combined expertise. Administrative details should be implemented locally at the collaborating universities rather than try to standardise everything.
