Abstract

The VisualPage project has developed a software application that uses the visual characteristics of digitized printed pages to identify documents that contain three types of visually distinctive materials of interest to humanities researchers: poetry, music, and illustrations. The prototype demonstrates the value of using visual analysis of document images in conjunction with more traditional textual analysis to enable scholars to ask more refined questions about texts and their physical manifestations. This report was submitted to the Workset Creation for Scholarly Analysis: Prototyping Project, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
