New: Artemis Primary Sources for Text Analysis

Artemis is the Greco-Roman goddess of the hunt. Artemis isn’t a digital collection; it’s an interface, a platform, a tool that allows researchers to hunt, to do more sophisticated analysis collectively of all the Gale digital primary source collections. These would be collections such as The Making of the Modern World (MoMW) and Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO).

The hunt of Artemis translates into full text searching of more texts, some of which you might not have known about, or thought to search, leading to unexpected and intriguing results that suggest new avenues of inquiry.

It also translates into an easy way to experiment with new approaches and methodologies for working with large corpora. Artemis makes it easy for users with limited technical know-how to explore the basics of visualization, text-mining, term clusters, topic modeling, collaborative annotation. In other words, it’s a gateway into the digital humanities.

 

 

 

If you find these approaches to be fruitful and exciting, and your research outgrows this platform and corpora, please get in touch with me, vac11 at cornell.edu, and I will try to facilitate the next level.
