+ Transkribus on the road with the University Library of Belgrade

Congratulations go to the University Library of Belgrade (one of the READ Memorandum of Understanding partners) which has been chosen by the Serbian Ministry of Culture to represent the country at a series of global book fairs during 2018.  Representatives from the library already traveled to the Leipzig fair in March and will soon be off to Beijing, Moscow and Frankfurt – with Transkribus in tow!

The library will showcase its work with Transkribus at these book fairs.  The University Library of Belgrade has been collaborating closely with the READ project over the past few years and Alexander Jerkov, the director of the library presented the results of their experiments with the Automated Text Recognition of Cyrillic handwriting at the first Transkribus User Conference in November 2017.
