Guided Tours Across a Collection of Historical Digital Images

Published: 18 September 2014 Publication History

Abstract

We propose the use of short lectures, called narratives, embedded in a digital archive as a personalization method to support and guide users within a collection of historical material. The effectiveness of the approach has been evaluated with two groups of users. An analysis of the results has been conducted enabling the presentation of preliminary results.
