ATR is a breakthrough AI which accelerates research work, making handwritten content fully discoverable via search, and turning handwriting into easily readable typeset that can be seamlessly utilized for data analysis, quoted, and cited. Through ATR, manuscripts and printed materials will come close to parity in their discoverability for the first time. With examples drawn from Wiley Digital Archives, find out how ATR can improve archive collection management and librarianship, supporting institutional objectives and publishing by placing researchers ahead of the curve in their fields. You’ll hear how the technology behind ATR works, the difference between ATR, OCR, and HTR. As well as, how ATR will enhance research and teaching by solving manuscript comprehension challenges.

Revealing and Contextualizing the treasures of the Biodiversity Heritage Libr...Trish Rose-Sandler
This talk focused on two projects being carried out by the Missouri Botanical Garden related to the Biodiversity Heritage Library - Art of Life and Engelmann Correspondence. The Art of Life, funded by NEH, is a project to identify and describe the rich natural history illustrations hidden within the pages of BHL literature. The Engelmann Correspondence project, funded by IMLS, is a project to digitize and make available in BHL letters sent to 19th century botanist, George Engelmann by his colleagues in the US and Europe. Both projects are providing new content types to the BHL portal http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/, helping contextualize its published literature, and expanding BHL audiences.
