     DIGITISATION OF EUROPEAN CULTURAL HERITAGE: 
     PRODUCTS-PRINCIPLES-TECHNIQUES
     Utrecht, The Netherlands, 21-23 October 1999
     
Symposium organised by the Institute for Information Science 
(formerly Computer and Humanities) of Utrecht University and the 
Utrecht University Library.
     
During the last decade, successful digitisation projects from 
various European countries have provided access to a wealth of 
historical and cultural sources in electronic form. These 
projects show a number of different approaches, some of which 
represent well-known standard solutions, while others may be 
innovative or obscure. To explore this variety is one aim of this 
symposium. Nevertheless, the assumption is that these projects 
have a number of underlying principles in common, which together 
define a 'European' approach to digitisation that differs from 
the 'Anglo-Saxon' approach practised in the United States, Canada 
and Great Britain.
     
Methodological themes are investigated in a series of plenary 
papers to be read by Jörgen van den Berg, Andrea Bozzi, Pedro 
Gonzalez, Anne R. Kenney, Frank Klaproth, Adolf Knoll, Dominique 
Maillet, Michael Pidd, Bas Savenije, and Abby Smith. A number of 
projects will be discussed separately in small-group sessions with 
opportunities for discussion and hands-on experience. Among these 
projects are the ESAC Folksong Corpus, Thesaurus Musicarum 
Italicarum, World of Peter Stuyvesant, Illuminated Manuscripts of 
the Dutch Royal Library, and the Norwegian Digital Radio Archive. 
Many other projects will be informally demonstrated.
     
The symposium will be held at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, The 
Netherlands. The participation fee is DFL 750 or 340 Euro; 
coffee, tea, three lunches, reception and the Conference Dinner 
are included in the fee. Accommodation can be reserved through 
the Congress Bureau of Utrecht University.
     
The programme, registration form and further information can be 
found at 
http://candl.let.uu.nl
under the heading "events".
     
The symposium's web pages will be regularly updated. For further
