The University of Southern California (USC) received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Digital Humanities (CFDA 45.169) to develop and disseminate a scholarly application named "BOOKSNAKE." This mobile app will utilize augmented reality (AR) technology to allow users to juxtapose and compare digitized archival materials from collections at the Library of Congress, David Rumsey Map Collection, Huntington Digital Library, and USC Digital Library. The funding will support testing and dissemination of this content-agnostic, general-purpose tool for accessing and comparing existing digitized collections in a physical space. Expected outcomes include the public release of the working application, open-source code, and technical documentation.
