Welcome to my website!

I'm Alix Chagué , I am a phD Candidate in Digital Humanities, both at the EPHE and the Université de Montréal. I work at Inria's Paris Center as a member of the ALMAnaCH team and with the CRIHN and the GREN teams. My phD thesis is titled "Corpora, methods and resources for the automatic transcription of handwritten, French patrimonial contemporary documents". It is supervised by Laurent Romary, Emmanuel Château-Dutier and Michael Sinatra.

Since 2020, I am also in charge of the pedagogical supervision of the Master in Documentation and Digital Humanities at the Ecole du Louvre.

Initially trained in the Humanities and in Art History, I graduated in 2018 from the Master in Digital Technologies Applied to History (TNAH) from the Ecole nationales des chartes.

My Projects

Les Vieux Papiers du Grenier #vieuxpap

A blog to put light on family archive, with DH techniques... and home means!

vieux papiers du grenier

« Les Vieux Papiers du Grenier » is a blog project dedicated to sharing all the processes at hand to promote a family’s archive. Here, we talk about tools and methods, but also publish advice and feedback.

Although personal, the collection is used as an example to show how to « home-process » such sources, taking inspiration from greater research projects in the field of digital humanities (digitization, transcription, information d’information, database creation, etc.).

Additionally, this blog will host feedback from other individuals involved in similar projects with their own family’s archive.
