Service: CLAVIS project - Automatic recognition of old handwritten documents

Responsible organisation: Luxembourg National archive (Central-Government)

The CLAVIS project proposed by the Luxembourg National archives (Archives nationales de Luxembourg - ANLux) involves submitting digitised images of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century manuscript documents to Transkribus, a platform for AI-assisted recognition of handwriting, transcription, and searches in historic documents. Automated transcription helps to make these sources, hardly exploitable until now, legible and comprehensible again for upcoming generations of researchers. ANLux also expects the project to come up with new possibilities for the automated creation of inventories or indexes of people and places.
