The University of Southern California (USC) received a $147,756 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities' Promotion of the Humanities Office of Digital Humanities program (CFDA 45.169) to further develop the MapKurator pipeline for identifying, transcribing, and recognizing semantic contexts for text on historical maps. The project, which runs from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026, involves a collaborative effort with the University of Minnesota's Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Knowledge Computing Lab, and the University of Sheffield's Digital Humanities Institute. The goal is to enhance the pipeline's capabilities for distinguishing between geographic features and other contextual information (e.g., metadata, cultural details) on historical maps.
