Reading the unreadable: multispectral imaging of medieval Serbian charters
DHInfra coordinated a loan of TU Wien's portable MISHA system to recover faded Old Serbian text on damaged charters in Cetinje — here is how the process works.
We pool compute, digitization, development services, and open-source software across Austrian institutions — so DH projects that lack resources or skills can still get the job done. A CLARIAH-AT initiative.
Digital Humanities Infrastructure in Austria — on 8 June 2026, 10:00–12:00 (CEST) we present the results of the project. Come and listen! The event is held remotely and in German.
Programme
Data protection declarations: Zoom@Uni‑Graz (guests) and general Uni Graz.
Resources
Distinct infrastructure parts, contributed by partners across Austria. Open each one for details and contacts.
Train and fine-tune models, run interactive GPU notebooks, and call a hosted OpenAI-compatible LLM and embedding API — built for Digital Humanities, not generic HPC.
Read moreMultispectral imaging (XpeCAM, MISHA), a scanning robot for fragile loose-leaf collections, and borrowable inference GPUs — available on request.
Read moreDatabase-as-a-service, dev/test VMs and CI runners, plus short and mid-term project storage — a development-first complement to your own institution.
Read moreThree DH tools improved through DHInfra investment — QLever, liiive.now and Zellij. Usable on our cluster and elsewhere.
