Description

SCARCE (Sustained Concerns: Administration of Mineral Resource Extraction in Central Europe, 1550-1850) is a new five-year project at the University of Vienna. It aims to provide a history of today's stakeholder conflicts by showing how contradictory principles of resource management – economic development, sustainability, and technological innovation – were forged in protoindustrial settings. Sebastian Felten and his team will analyse thousands of administrative reports from across Central Europe and beyond using handwritten text recognition (HTR) and a method based on historical epistemology.
