Abstract
The proposed book chapter will guide the reader through the process involved in applying digital software to seventeenth-century Dutch handwritten manuscripts which document the presence of the Dutch community in Taiwan and are indispensable for our understanding of Taiwan history in a global setting. The case study for this exercise is the digitalized version of the Church Minutes (Kercboek) of the manuscript Kercboek, Brievenboek van Formosa, 23 januari 1642-4 maart 1660 in Dutch and English translation. The following steps will come to the attention. How to handle issues of transcription and transliteration in consideration of non-standardized orthography and spelling?
This particularly pertains to place and personal names which are used as main entries in Proper Noun (PN) recognition. Second, documenting how the set of training documents which generate word-clips are applied to generate candidate PNs. Finally, some observations will be shared how working with digitalized historical documents pertaining to Dutch Formosa research enables a new line of inquiry that approaches the cultural encounter between Dutch and indigenous society by paying attention to the various ways in which the encounter was expressed, represented, and by which our current understanding is shaped.
