Objective: Utilize AI-supported methods to geolocate historical texts, enabling geographic searches that connect archival publications to specific locations for enhanced accessibility.
Short Description:
Founded in 1862, the Austrian Alpine Club holds countless publications, texts, and technical articles awaiting revitalization in its archives. Narratives and descriptions from our alpine homeland could be made much more accessible if places could tell stories. AI-supported geolocation of these contributions would enable geographic searches on a map, allowing users to find all publications related to a specific location.
Challenges include historical names, varying spellings, and different languages. The results would be applied in an information portal, bringing historical and current texts closer to people by greatly simplifying the search process. A practical application of the research results is certain in this context.
