Abstract

This poster presents the development of digital folklore archives as emerging digital research infrastructures – emphasizing the critical need for cross-border and multilingual integration. Emerging large language models further accelerate this shift – enabling automated processing and translation of diverse folklore corpora, including under-resourced and endangered languages. These innovations enhance usability, support archival curation and public engagement, offering new opportunities for research and international collaboration.
