The public announcement has been made, so Adam Soroka and I can now share the news that we’ve been funded by the NEH’s Office of Digital Humanities and the IMLS to pursue our “Neatline” project. We’ll begin working again in September in earnest, on a tool that Adam prototyped in support of a code4lib pre-conference workshop he gave earlier this year. Look to this site for updates along the way, and for a full description of the project (including notes on our test cases — horror writer H.P. Lovecraft and Civil War mapmaker Jedediah Hotchkiss — and our advisory board and collaborators) to be posted soon.
