Abstract

The development of research methodologies innovative technologies as described in this paper allows real time archival data extraction and assessment while ensuring preservation. The system establishes a new standard for electronic preservation, retrieval and research of manuscript and other materials. It uses computer-assisted technology for initial handwriting recognition of manuscript sources. This enables a search by word throughout an entire database. The data mining component of the system has been designed using lexicon, features extraction, and neural networks methods.
