wondarchive › PhD photo corpus

How do you handle the thousands of photos of a PhD?

The corpus is deposited trip by trip, read as it goes, and searchable in full from the first transcribed page — no need to wait until the end to go through it.

From €39.99 incl. VAT a year

Essential, 5,000 credits a year, i.e. 2,500 pages transcribed or 1,666 translated, 10,000 pages kept; Standard, 10,000 credits, €69.99 incl. VAT; Expert, 20,000 credits, €99.99 incl. VAT. The simulator tells you which to choose.

Full export, at any time

After the viva, the subscription can stop: full export, in open formats, stays possible, and emails warn you before the pages are erased, one month after the expiry date.

Corpora of every kind

  • Family or diplomatic correspondence spanning decades
  • Notarial or judicial files worked through in series
  • Field notebooks and handwritten research notes
  • Company or association records, accounts and minutes
  • Old press systematically gone through
  • Statistical tables and numerical series

The account takes a minute to open, a hundred pages free for a year.

Do you need everything photographed before reading can start?

No: each deposited folder is read by the next day, and search covers everything already transcribed.

How do you cite a page in the thesis?

With the fonds, shelfmark and folio of the page; the guide spells out the form, pending the automatic citation in the works.

Can the account stay inactive after the thesis?

Yes, without loss: once the subscription stops, reading and uploading are suspended but full export stays possible; one month after the expiry date, the pages are erased, the account stays, and emails warn you beforehand.

Which plan for a corpus of a few thousand pages?

Essential at €39.99 incl. VAT (5,000 credits a year), Standard at €69.99 incl. VAT (10,000) or Expert at €99.99 incl. VAT (20,000), depending on the corpus’s real size: 2 credits for a transcribed page, 3 for a translated page.
