The digital turn has created an interrelated ecosystem between humans and machines capable of generating data and knowledge. This paradigm shift necessitates new archival approaches, as demonstrated during the digitization project of the “Corrispondenza” section of the Biscari Archive. This project showcased how, by leveraging artificial intelligence tools such as Transkribus and ChatGPT, the digitization process can effectively address the challenges associated with encoding archival materials. The digital edition and virtualization of document consultation on the Biscari epistolography website (https://biscariepistolography.altervista.org) have been specifically designed to facilitate the exploration of historical documents through the web. Moreover, recognizing that digital dissemination aims to preserve cultural heritage and enable access to scientifically relevant data for future generations of scholars.
