Artemis: Primary Sources is an interface that searches across multiple humanities-related collections of primary sources. In addition to basic and advanced searching, Artemis features visualizations of the frequency with which terms appear. Artemis’ Term Frequency and Term Clustering visualizations are a simple form of text mining that show patterns and relationships in the database. Artemis also allows users to privately annotate and tag documents in personal folders that can be shared with others who do not have institutional log-ins to the databases. While the Artemis interface has some unique abilities and tools to visualize the results of searches, it does not have much information about the contents of particular primary source collections. For collection-level (rather than item-level) information, users must go to the standalone databases.
