We are here and excited for #DH2026!

Registration signs for the DH2026 "Engagement" conference
DARIAH-IS/CDHA | Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts@mshl-cdha.bsky.social · last mo.

We take part in two major conferences: Next Tuesday, July 7, we host a 4-panel series on digital approaches to medieval time @ #IMC2026 On July 31, @vanlinduist.bsky.social and @eirikursmari.bsky.social present our ongoing work on a new web portal for Icelandic cultural heritage @ #DH2026

A digital newsletter page featuring the large heading "NEWS" followed by the subhead "IMC 2026 in Leeds". The text details that CDHA is hosting a four-panel series at the International Medieval Congress (IMC) at the University of Leeds from July 6–9, 2026, under the theme "The Endless Scroll: Digital Approaches on Medieval Time." The bottom half of the page is filled with a graphic of a medieval astronomical chart or zodiac wheel rendered in blue and gold. The concentric rings of the chart are updated with rows of binary code (0s and 1s) and modern digital humanities terms, including "Temporalities," "artificial intelligence," "visualization," "metadata," "digital reconstruction," "tools and technologies," and "digital editions."

We’ve been rolling out major updates to Translucens, improving the algorithms and adding new cleaning settings, including a new feature I’ve wanted for really long: The masking tool! Now you can use a brush to erase background noise or protect regions from enhancement.

A user interface screenshot of the Translucens software showing a split-screen comparison of a medieval manuscript page. The left side shows the dark, heavily stained original page, while the right side shows an enhanced version with pink and blue masking overlays applied. The right-hand sidebar displays the "Masking" panel with the Brush tool active, showing options to Protect, Erase, and Unmask, with a brush size slider set to 99px.A user interface screenshot of the Translucens software displaying a split-screen results view. The left half displays the original faded, brown manuscript folio with severe ink bleed-through. The right half displays the processed full-color version, featuring a clean, legible cream-colored background and sharply defined text.A user interface screenshot of the Translucens software showing a split-screen manuscript analysis. The left side displays the original dark parchment, while the right side shows a high-contrast blue color-channel visualization where the background is dark navy blue and the medieval script stands out in bright, glowing light blue text.A user interface screenshot of the Translucens software showing a split-screen grayscale conversion. The left side shows the original, heavily discolored brown manuscript folio. The right side shows a highly optimized grayscale output, turning the page into a crisp, pure white background with stark black text for maximum readability. The right-hand panel shows the Grayscale parameters and tuning configuration.

We were excited to hear that some people at @imc-leeds.bsky.social already used Translucens! 🤯 Here are some new things that we have been working on in the meantime. Working on a paper with @vanlinduist.bsky.social! #DigitalHumanities #DH #Translucens
