Scriptorium
About Scriptorium
A public research platform connecting digitised historical charters with transparent AI-assisted transcription and interpretation.
What is Scriptorium?
Scriptorium is an independent research project for reading, searching and comparing historical charters. It brings the digital source image, inherited catalogue description and newly generated research data into one traceable workspace.
What does Scriptorium add?
The platform adds paleographic transcription, explicit uncertainty notation, readable transcript views, translations, regests, entities and automated quality assessments. These additions never replace the source record; they sit beside it.
Who is it for?
The primary audience is historians, archivists, students and other researchers who need fast orientation without losing access to the underlying evidence.
Data provenance
Monasterium and the holding institutions remain the source of catalogue records and scans. AI-derived statements are labelled throughout the interface and retain links to their source page.
