Bibliotech Hackaton

2023

In 2023, from the 13th to the 23rd of March, KU Leuven Libraries, the Faculty of Arts and the Humanities and Social Sciences Group organized a hackathon. This event offered an inspiring context for developing digital skills. It brought together people of all backgrounds with a keen interest in digital tools and introduced participants to the library's digitized collections.

As team leader I had the pleasure to work with a group of students on the Bible of Anjou, a richly illuminated manuscript from c. 1340. After years of being hidden from the public eye (683 years to be exact), the Anjou Bible is now publicly available in digital format. However, due to the immense scope of the work, the detailed miniatures that populate the pages of the book are often overlooked. This project proposes a new way to interact with this historical artefact.
