BA Hosts Digitizing Arabic Text Workshop

Posted on

In partnership with Yale University, the BA hosted the Digitizing Arabic Text Workshop from 3 to 7 December 2007. Attendees from Yale University were offered training in the digitizing and OCRing of Arabic texts. Provided by the BA Digital Lab experts and the BA ISIS staff, the workshop included lectures, tutorials, and hands-on laboratory sessions.

This workshop was funded by the US Department of Education, as part of the Project AMEEL grant (Arabic and Middle Eastern Electronic Library). Additional support was provided by the BA and the Yale Library.

The goal of the workshop was to provide a training course on the digitization techniques and approaches of Arabic text in order to help propagate the digitization of Arabic language books worldwide.
