In CHILD a knowledge graph of the historical experience of music in childhood is build, by using life writing (letters, diaries, memoirs, travel writing) and other historical texts as sources for adult reflections on music heard in childhood, third-party observations on children’s engagement with music, and children’s own first-hand accounts. The latest YouTube video on our channel includes the ambitions of this pilot.
