Dear all, I am Valentina Vavassori, the Digital Curator for OCR/HTR at the British Library. We are currently researching different approaches to Automatic Text Recognition (ATR) in cultural heritage institutions as part of our work on our ATR workflow. As part of this work, we designed a survey and we would be really grateful if you can complete it. One question at the end of the survey asks if other institutions are interested in taking part in a working group on ATR and, if possible, to share their email so we can kick-start having meetings and discussions. The anonymised results of the survey will be published in order to help other institutions working with ATR. The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete and all the information is available here: https://blogs.bl.uk/digital-scholarship/2025/03/help-us-explore-automatic-text-recognition-in-cultural-heritage-.html Your participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time or omit any question you prefer not to answer. If you know anyone who might be interested in participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at HMD_at_bl.uk<mailto:HMD_at_bl.uk> or valentina.vavassori_at_bl.uk<mailto:valentina.vavassori_at_bl.uk> Thank you very much for your time.
