This week I have been working in the Scientific Library of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, one of the largest and most ancient scientific libraries of Ukraine, founded in 1608. A beautiful space, my thanks are to the librarians and team for hosting my visit.
Scientific Library of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv
I am working on a new project. An introduction to XML work, learning to code with Unicode. In transcription terms, the benefits of this work create archival resources independent of software and hardware for legacy and future use.
The project takes inspiration in part from a collection of Samuel Beckett’s work online: The Samuel Beckett Digital Manuscript Project. The website includes a practical guide to digital genetic editing with introductions to XML, working with transcripts and the concepts of ‘exogenesis’ and ‘endogenesis’. Both external project sources, reference materials and the interior, work produced as a result.
