As a research infrastructure, Érudit supports and takes part in several research and development activities
in collaboration with national and international partners.
In order to enable text mining of large data sets, we have signed agreements with several major digital heritage institutions in Canada. Thousands of documents are thus available to researchers, from the collections of BAnQ, BAC/LAC, and the Québec National Assembly Library.
Services around textual data collections are offered through the Coalition Publica partnership.
The members of the TECHNÈS partnership are working on a digital and bilingual systematic encyclopedia of film techniques. Their goal is to conduct a synchronous and diachronous study of the moments of deep technological transformation in the cinematic realm.
Lead researcher: Canadian team overseen by André Gaudreault (GRAFICS/Université de Montréal).
