Virginia Woolf Digitizing IQP
Público DepositedThis IQP explores the digitization of Virginia Woolf’s diaries and fragmentary novels to enhance accessibility and enable more advanced textual analyses. Through collaboration with Dr. Joshua Phillips, an Oxford professor, this project enhances Phillips’s existing digital platform, allowing researchers, educators, and the public to engage more effectively with Woolf’s fragmented novels. Initially, we investigated OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technologies and their effectiveness in reading Woolf’s handwritten diaries, Upon understanding more about Phillips’s objectives, we shifted our focus towards converting transcripts of Woolf’s work into digital formats, employing vector databases to enable semantic searches and connections between text fragments. This approach not only deepens the engagement with Woolf’s literary techniques and themes but also provides innovative ways to interact with her works. By doing so, this IQP contributes to the preservation and exploration of Virginia Woolf’s literary heritage, while also reflecting on the broader implications of digitization within the humanities.
