In the project DiTAH - Digital Transformation of the Austrian Humanities project, work was carried out throughout Austria on how research in the humanities can be digitally recorded, made accessible and communicated.
For the university museums of the University of Graz, the historical physics collection of the UniGraz@Museum took centre stage: 62 physical objects from the past four centuries - many of which were constructed or acquired by researchers at the University of Graz themselves.
In collaboration with the Centre for Information Modelling (ZIM), these objects were not only digitally documented and archived, but also embedded in their scientific and institutional history context. The aim was to test new ways of communicating science beyond mere digitisation.
Stefan Köchel shows what this looks like in practice for our sub-project in a compact and vivid way in the official project film from minute 18:40.
The film is now available online: "Digital Transformation in the Austrian Humanities"
