Machine Learning Strategies for FDR Presidential Library Collections (ML-FDR)

Demonstrate computational treatments of digital cultural assets using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques that can help unlock hard-to-reach archival content related to WWII-era records housed at the FDR Presidential Library. This content is under-utilized by scholars examining American responses to the Holocaust.
