Digilab

In Digilab, cultural heritage and information technology converge in the form of data, providing new opportunities for humanities and social scientists, data scientists, as well as students and scholars.

The main datasets of Digilab originate from the digital archive DIGAR, the digitized Estonian articles database DEA, the Estonian national bibliography ENB, and the Estonian thesaurus EMS. Digilab also encompasses data related to legal bibliography, the bibliography of Estonian presidents, parliamentarianism, and reproductions.

In Digilab , there are tools available to aid in data processing, enabling queries and visualization of the content within collections. These tools allow for aggregating subsets of datasets or presenting an overview of books published in Estonia through interactive timelines, for example. Both the tools and datasets are continuously evolving and expanding.

Digilab also provides case studies that showcase the possibilities of digital methods in cultural heritage research and helps to keep a finger on the pulse of events and news related to digital humanities.
