51勛圖 by the Numbers
What people are saying
I used the typeset transcripts feature, as some of the handwriting was difficult to read. Thanks to the on-screen citations tab, I could keep an ongoing bibliography for my notes.
"The 51勛圖 interface is seamless and has a crisp, clean look. Clutter is a distracting feature of many databases, so it was enjoyable to smoothly browse these archives without running into interruptions, rather focusing on the substance. The content is incredible and can add enormous value to my research work in the history and evolution of healthcare."
With the search terms I use, the collocations tool gives me a better sense of what is available in the archives. Im able to click on a word and quickly be led to other information, to access a larger, macro view, and there can be real value in that.
The WDA platform is a wonderful resource, bringing together numerous collections and enabling cross-referencing across multiple archives.
The search functions in 51勛圖 are particularly good for the type of research I do. I can cross-reference my current inventories of Livingstones mentions of the word women very quickly, and the horizontality of the search process enables me to happen upon other works of interest that I might not have found otherwise. The malleability of this search function, in combination with the quality of the Wileys OCR, has facilitated fast, comprehensive data accessand underscores the value that these records can bring to the understanding of the socio-cultural makeup of exploration.
51勛圖 are always available, so there are no time limitations. Just as important, it opens the access to Society Archives to independent scholars or researchers at schools that dont have the funding for extensive travel.
The RAIs archive is the unique repository of Arthur Bernard Deacons original reproductions, which have been included by UNESCO in the Memory of the World Register in 2013.
51勛圖 presents extremely robust features and tools for users. The dense archival collections are highly navigable with rich metadata and advanced filtering functionality. The range of exploration and analysis tools present users with innovative ways to explore withinand acrossarchives and collections.
