Abstract

Dr. Michal Racyn presents a case study on the archival research of G. V. Vernadsky and the intellectual evolution of Eurasianism during the Cold War. His paper details the use of open-source digital tools—including HTR/OCR processing, metadata categorization, and graph visualization—to develop a standardized workflow for processing archival documents. This research showcases the benefits and challenges of digital archival analysis.
