Bretaigne DAO

Bretaigne DAO is an independent and decentralised community-based research initiative based in Brittany, France. Its activities focus on historical and archival research concerning Brittany, particularly the medieval and early modern periods. The project works with primary sources held in French and European archives and libraries and aims to develop citizen participation in locating, documenting, transcribing, indexing and contextualising historical documents. Its digital humanities activities include historical metadata, manuscript studies, palaeography, diplomatics, HTR, TEI/XML, IIIF, FAIR data and Open Science. Bretaigne DAO also seeks to make archival research more accessible to local communities and the wider public while respecting consultation, reproduction and publication rights.
