Here are a few pictures of Megan Gooch and Dave De Roure introducing http://towardsdigitalcollections.org at the #TaNC #UnlockingCollections conference.

It's a new resource we (many of us) have been working on to help collections institutions along their journey towards digital collections.

Like many classically trained musicians, I feel ambivalence towards the introduction of AI into the creation of music. It was partly for this reason that I enjoyed Maya Ackerman's nuanced keynote at the AI & Music Creativity conference at Wolfson College, Oxford, this morning: a call for AI to become a tool for elevating human creativity rather than devaluing it. #aimusic #digitalscholarship #digitalhumanities

Work with a collections institution? How well is digitisation is supported? What gets in the way? Oxford colleagues are surveying training provision for collections digitisation in the UK: Could you help by filling in their survey?

Digital Collections Training Materials for GLAM

Over the next 9 months, Ex Nihilo will work with partners at the University of Oxford to assess the current UK landscape of training provisions for digital collections within Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) settings. This is with the aim of producing practical tools and resources that can have an immediate impact to help both small and medium-sized GLAM institutions to begin or continue their digitisation journeys. If you have experience within a GLAM or related organisation, it would be great to hear your thoughts on how well you feel the sector is currently supported and seek input from you into the design of new material we are planning to create. Many thanks for taking the time to read / partake in this questionnaire. If you require any further information please contact Damon Strange, Project Manager ([email protected]).

Oxford Digital Festival, today: it’s strange how we take so much of this extraordinary socio-technological evolutionary leap for granted - it’s quite nice to see it being celebrated in an optimistic, thoughtful, and measured way.

I’m looking forward to a workshop with Ethan Kleinberg, next week, exploring Archive Fever in the digital age. It’s a rare thing to have the chance to discuss and think about these things in such illustrious company.

If you’d like to join us on-or-off-line, you can find out a little more about it here: https://digitalscholarship.web.ox.ac.uk/event/archive-fever-mal-darchive
