An interview with Prof. Mikko Tolonen - an intellectual historian by training and an eighteenth-century scholar. 

Tolonen has played an important role building digital humanities infrastructure at the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki. Tolonen’s current main research focus in on an integrated study of public discourse and knowledge production that combines metadata from library catalogues as well as full-text libraries of books, newspapers and periodicals.

Tolonen’s digital humanities strategy is to build a widening network from ground up that includes the application of his research interests to a larger infrastructural level. In 2016 Tolonen was awarded an Open Science and Research Award by Finnish Ministry of Education. Tolonen is a PI of two major research projects and also the PI for Finland for the ‘Humanities at Scale’ (DESIR) project that will further the DARIAH ERIC’s aim to integrate digitally enabled research in the arts and humanities in Europe (2017-2019).

Dr Axel Jean-Caurant is a research engineer at the L3i laboratory of the University of La Rochelle. He obtained his PhD in computer science in 2018 where his thesis was on the accessibility of documents inside digital libraries.

The focus of his work was put on two distinct aspects. First is to understand how researchers are using these online platforms and how to train them to understand the changes data has undergone during the digitisation processes. Second is the study of the impact of the quality of documents on accessibility. Axel is now working full time on the NewsEye project and is in charge of developing the demonstrator which will hold the data researchers of the project are interested in, along with the different tools developed during the project.

The Demonstrator. Platform, Architecture, Data. An interview with Axel Jean-Caurant.

NewsEye is a research project advancing the state of the art and introducing new concepts, methods and tools for digital humanities by providing enhanced access to historical newspapers for a wide range of users. With the tools and methods created by Newseye, crucial user groups will be able to investigate views and perspectives on historical events and development and, as a consequence, the project will change the way European digital heritage data is (re)searched, accessed, used and analysed.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 770299.
