English title: The GATE Project by the Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University: remarks on working with digitized documents in an online collaborative environment
Abstract: This article presents some remarks on programs for the digitization of documental collections and their digital processing and publication, based on the case of the GATE Project and its web platform, maintained by the Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University. Benefits, both from the perspective of the institution and of archive users, are considered alongside frequent restrictions and obstacles faced by programs of this nature. Previous projects for the digital handling of the Archives’ holdings are briefly described in order to highlight the choices and rationale of the current project. The activity of collaborative transcription and editing of manuscript documents under the Monumenta Kircheri subproject is discussed through issues of technological and conceptual nature raised by four letters written in the 17th century by a Jesuit missionary. The article closes with broad reflections on the peculiarities of dealing with digitized documents and some possibilities brought about by an intensely collaborative form of working online.
