  • RLP 328: Using AI in Research Logging

    RLP 328: Using AI in Research Logging
    Oct 21 2024
    Nicole and Diana discuss Diana's recent project on Isabella Weatherford, demonstrating how she used both traditional methods and AI assistance to log her research effectively. Diana reviews the research plan she created using AI, including the objective to examine the economic and social conditions in Dallas County, Texas, in the early 1870s and their influence on Isabella's life and marriage prospects. Diana followed the research plan, beginning with county histories. She used Claude, an AI assistant, to transcribe and summarize the dense text, which provided valuable insights into the history and economics of the area. Next, Diana searched newspapers and the census. She located the Weatherford family in the 1860 census but had difficulty finding them in 1870. Diana expanded her search to Missouri and finally found the family in Camden County with misspellings and indexing errors. Her tax research revealed valuable information about Isabella's father's property and tax obligations. Diana also investigated migration patterns and how the development of railroads, such as the Texas and Pacific Railway, might have impacted Isabella's family's movements. Listeners will learn how to use AI to assist with research logging, specifically how to transcribe and summarize historical texts, and also how to use traditional research methods such as newspapers, census records, and tax records.
