Description

The AURA Network (2020–2022) brought together digital humanists, computer scientists, archivists, and other stakeholders to unlock cultural assets held in “dark” digital archives that are closed to users. It focused on access barriers affecting born-digital records, including privacy, copyright, and technical constraints, and on the need for methods that combine humanistic approaches with data-rich analysis. The network explored applying AI to archives to support tasks such as separating personal and business email, identifying personal-data passages to enable partial or limited access, and extracting named entities to link archival content to external sources
