This document summarizes the journey of an impatient historian over time from 1984 to 2011. It discusses how in 1984, the historian had to follow strict rules to access archives and secrets, but by 2011, with new digital tools, the historian is able to hack, connect, and transform archives in new ways. The three wishes of the impatient historian are to let them play with data, connect different sources, and transform archives into new forms like stories and collaborations with others.

"The Museums Computer Group are delighted to announce George Oates as the opening keynote speaker at UKMW14. As the creator of Flickr Commons, she’s had a huge impact on the cultural sector. As if that wasn’t enough, her wider experience has given her an international and interdisciplinary perspective on design and technology, and a sense of which developments in the digital world are important for audiences. With a wave of her magic wand, her keynote will take a long view on the digital heritage sector. Which significant changes in the digital world have affected the UK museum sector in the past few years, and how have cultural organisations prepared themselves for the changes ahead?"

This is an extensive but high level look at principles, methods, and tools looking to a couple case studies around the use of data visualisation for humanities research.
Connected heritage: How should Cultural Institutions Open and Connect Data?Mia
Keynote for the International Digital Culture Forum 2017, Taichung, Taiwan, August 2017
I approach the question by describing the mechanisms organisations have used to open and connect data, then I look at some of the positive outcomes that resulted from their actions. This is not a technical talk about different acronyms, it's about connecting people to our shared heritage.

5. ‘As I hope you will
understand, this delay is
due not so much to
bureaucratic secretiveness
or overdoses of red tape, as
to a very real concern to
prevent nuclear proliferation
and to fulfil the UK's
commitments under the
Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Some of those documents
may contain details of the
design of nuclear weapons.'

‘...there can be great value in playing with historical data. By
that I mean quickly searching, scanning, and visualizing data
to see things that are otherwise impossible to notice. Of course
visualizations are hardly new, even in history. But what is new,
is our ability to take arbitrary data and see it from multiple
perspectives with relatively little time, effort, and technical
wizardry. The discoveries that come about from such quick and
dirty inquiries isn't meant to be revolutionary, but to raise
questions that wouldn't have emerged otherwise.'

‘what really needs to break down is the silo that suggests that
information itself is something to be consulted and collected;
that it is an unchanging object of study, rather than a pool of
constantly changing stuff that can be interrogated from any
angle, and pursued along any trajectory.'

What I wonder is whether instead we can begin with the
data, or with a datum, and simply watch for what it may tell
us, even if what it tells us is simply a story. What I hope is
that all our data will bring forth a new age of humanistic
induction, induction that can but need not necessarily rely
on statistics and visualizations.
