Results

EarlyPrint successfully accomplished all of the goals it outlined for itself. To recap, the goals were to create:

1. Mobile-friendly and accurate transcriptions of texts within the database
2. High-quality images within an intuitive page viewer
3. Detailed data files with bibliographical, structural, and linguistic metadata
4. A collaborative annotation tool scholars can use to make suggestions or corrections on text transcriptions

Despite meeting their goals, EarlyPrint’s homepage states that the following actions are ongoing:

• Adding more high-resolution document images
• Developing and embedding more tools for quantitative analysis
• Improving documentation throughout the website
• Improving transcriptional errors and morphological identifications

Moreover, users are still able to register profiles on the website and create annotations within the project’s library. A screenshot of the Annotation Panel view after I registered an account is shown below:
