DIGITAL ARCHIVES · DH PORTAL
A portal aggregating tech resources — articles, videos, tutorials, and projects — on Digital Archives and Digital Humanities. Increasingly these are produced through AI-driven generation, as an ongoing experiment.

Tech articles on Digital Archives, DH, and software development.
Open→Apps and experiments built in the Digital Archives / DH space.
Open→An "Intro to DA Technologies" series on the technical building blocks of digital archives (TEI, RDF, …), with transcripts.
Open→Long-form content organized into chapters.
Open→Chaptered, video-based guides to using each tool.
Open→AI-generated dialogue videos derived from the articles.
Open→An "AI Short Film" series visualizing public-domain literature from TEI/XML-encoded texts, with Japanese/English narration and captions.
Open→UUIDs and SHA-256 digests are not competing identifiers; they answer different questions. This piece works through the distinction using the PREMIS Data Dictionary, Archivematica's implementation, and the E-ARK specification.
I brought my own ODD to the TEI 2026 workshop on Schematron in ODD. Before writing a single rule, RELAX NG reported 795 errors. The cause was a wrong module in moduleRef, and nothing had ever reported that mistake.
Generating RELAX NG and Schematron from a single TEI ODD, and wiring both into VS Code without oXygen.
A record of a Drupal multilingual site where one content type would not show the Translate tab, so an editor could not create the English version. The fix required separating two things: enabling translation per content type, and the fact that translation permissions are split into an 'action' layer and a 'target' layer.
A IIIF viewer generated thumbnails with full/!w,h/ (sizeByConfinedWh), and thumbnails stopped rendering for some collections backed by an external IIIF Image API. The cause: !w,h is not a required feature at Image API level 1. This walks through the level/supports relationship, the measured behavior, and switching to width-only sizing (sizeByW).
How a Dependabot major bump of transformers 4.57.6 → 5.5.0 played out: the native SigLIP2 model migrated after absorbing a return-type change (.pooler_output), while the trust_remote_code clip-japanese-base was deferred due to a two-stage incompatibility (meta-device init and the post_init() contract) — plus a checklist for deciding whether to take such an upgrade.
