Using digitised historical holdings for data-led research

The activities of the ETH Library’s Digital Scholarship Services office around the notion of “Collections as Data”. Based on the digitised contents of our collections and archives, such as the Image Archive, external page E-Periodica, external page e-rara and external page e-manuscripta, we promote the use of these data in a vast range of different research areas – including the context of natural language processing and computer vision.
