\"Screen<\/a>We were very glad to be invited by the London Digital Humanities Group to come and talk about RunCoCo and community collections at one of their meetings. The group meets twice per term and the first meeting this year took place in Senate House on October 16. RunCoCo talked about ‘Community Collection, Roadshows and the Great War’ and explained ‘How it all started, how it developed and what is happening now’. The presentation was followed by an engaging discussion around various topics ranging from public engagement and impact to copyright and IPR via reflections on metadata and national stereotypes. A very pleasant event with a nice group of people which we would be happy to meet with again.<\/p>\n

Future activities of the London Digital Humanities Group are anounced on their mailing list. Anyone interested in joining can contact Simon Dixon at snd6@leicester.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About the group (by Simon Dixon et al):<\/p>\n

The London Digital Humanities Group aims to provide a forum to discuss the
\nways in which digital technologies are opening up new avenues of research
\nin the arts and humanities, and the opportunities for wider engagement and
\ndissemination that these methodologies can bring. The group aims to
\nshowcase a range of digital projects, such as the creation of online
\ndatabases, electronic editions, and topographical resources. It will also
\nserve a practical function by enabling its members to discuss the planning,
\nfunding, progress, and afterlife of such projects. Undertaking research in
\nthis rapidly changing area can be daunting; we hope the group will provide
\ninspiration and support by allowing its members an opportunity to share
\ntheir experiences and support each other\u2019s projects.<\/p>\n

We will meet twice per term to hear an informal seminar-like presentation
\nabout a given project, followed by questions and discussion. Information
\nabout each project will be circulated in advance of the meeting. Anyone
\nwith an interest in digital humanities is welcome to attend. We hope to
\nattract participants from across a range of disciplines and involved in the
\ndifferent aspects of digital humanities production (content development,
\nweb design, database programming, etc). Researchers at any stage of their
\ncareer currently involved in the implementation of digital projects are
\nparticularly welcome, as are librarians, archivists and museum
\nprofessionals engaged in the use of new technologies to widen access to
\ntheir collections.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
