Digitising the Collections of the Stratigraphical Museum, Knossos
Hannah Gwyther, Knossos Curation Project, The British School at Athens, Knossos
The Knossos Curatorial Project aims to create catalogue records for the Stratigraphical Museum holdings, using the software EMu. At Knossos we are using the Catalogue module, linking our collections with records created within the Thesaurus, Bibliography, Collection Events and other modules utilised by the British School at Athens. Recently we have been trialling data entry through the Sapphire interface. I plan to discuss both the challenges we are facing with using a combination of a remote desktop and Sapphire, as well as some of the solutions we have adopted that might prove useful to the wider community of EMu / Sapphire users.

Historic field diaries chronicle the expeditions undertaken over time to explore and discover the natural history of the world. They provide invaluable insights into past species distribution and abundance, as well as the trials and wonders experienced on historic expeditions. However, despite the wealth of information they contain, field diaries are a hugely underutilised resource. This paper will discuss why this is the case and how, with the help of crowd-sourced volunteers, the field diaries in Museum Victoria's collection are being made more accessible. Cataloguing, digitisation and transcription procedures are detailed, together with how this content is being put online.
Transcribing between the lines: crowd-sourcing historic data collection
Archival field diaries are an invaluable source of scientific and historic data. They can provide invaluable insights into species’ past abundance and distribution, references to significant people and events, and personal descriptions of historic expeditions. Despite the wealth of information they contain, they are a hugely underutilised resource because they are inaccessible in their original state. As hand-written documents they are hard to read, and they are often uncatalogued. This means that neither their contents nor their very existence is searchable. In this paper, we will explore the evolving field of online transcription, with a particular emphasis on archival field diaries. Using Museum Victoria’s recent transcription projects as key case studies, we will discuss the transcription platforms available, the standards required for success, and, most importantly, what we are doing to capture all the data.

Hum07 - Heritage Research Report - Tiffany Cheng
Chichen Itza is an important archaeological site of the Maya civilization located in Mexico. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 due to its well-preserved structures that provide valuable information about Maya culture. Some of the most prominent structures that still stand include the Warrior's Temple and El Castillo pyramid. The site faces threats from acid rain, erosion, and natural disasters. It is protected by Mexican law and heritage organizations aim to preserve it as it reflects the traditions and achievements of the ancient Maya people.
ICAN 50th Anniversary Essay
This document discusses the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and its role in ensuring the global relevance of Nigerian-trained professional accountants over the next 50 years. It provides background on the history and evolution of the accounting profession. ICAN was established in 1965 and has grown to over 250,000 members today. However, to keep up with changing industry dynamics, the essay argues ICAN must forge global partnerships, provide training and regulation, and maintain connections between education and practice to continue producing globally relevant accountants.
Hum07 - Heritage - Research Report - Tiffany Cheng
Chichen Itza is an ancient Maya city located in Mexico that was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. It contains many well-preserved structures from the Maya civilization such as the El Castillo pyramid and Temple of Warriors. Chichen Itza provides valuable archaeological evidence about the Maya people and reflects their achievements, beliefs, and traditions. However, the site faces threats from acid rain, erosion, and natural disasters which can damage the stone monuments and architecture. Efforts are ongoing to conserve Chichen Itza and protect this important cultural heritage of the Maya civilization.
FUEL PRICES, 2015
The document argues that fuel prices in Nigeria should be further reduced to provide more benefits to consumers given the large drop in global oil prices. It notes that Nigeria saw a 10.3% reduction in petrol prices after crude oil prices fell over 50%, and that other countries saw much larger percentage price drops passed on to consumers. The document recommends an additional reduction in Nigerian fuel prices that is more commensurate with the decrease in crude oil costs. This would help lower the cost of living and allow more of the budget to be spent on important capital expenditures rather than recurring costs like governance.
THE OIL CURSE
1. Agriculture was once the mainstay of Nigeria's economy, but the discovery of oil led to agriculture being neglected and replaced as the main industry. Young people abandoned farms for cities.
2. Oil wealth created a new corrupt political class that appropriated wealth for themselves while most Nigerians lived in poverty. Infrastructure and social services declined while corruption increased.
3. The document calls for restarting Nigeria's agricultural sector to diversify its economy away from oil. It recommends government support for farmers through loans, improved transportation, and freeing up land. Reviving agriculture could make Nigeria self-sufficient in foods like rice, fish, and sugar.
Cyclone
Tropical cyclones form over tropical ocean waters and affect agriculture in Tamil Nadu. They cause heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surges that can damage or destroy crops. A case study on Cyclone Thane found it caused over Rs. 5,250 crore in total losses, with over Rs. 4,000 crore in Cuddalore district alone due to damage to agricultural and horticultural crops across 200,000 hectares. Cyclones of increasing intensity can have increasingly catastrophic impacts like total crop destruction and uprooting of large trees. Rainfall distribution depends on cyclone size and speed, with more rainfall occurring close to the center.
THE MESOPOTAMIAN EMPIRE
Mesopotamia, meaning "between rivers", was located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and largely corresponds to modern day Iraq. King Hammurabi was the first king of Mesopotamia. Early settlers formed small villages and towns that grew into large cities with new inventions like writing, wheels, and plows that helped establish the first human civilization. Mesopotamians invented many technologies including writing, the wheel, chariots, sailboats, math, the seeder plow, glass, and money. They also developed an early calendar and had religious beliefs that included gods like Anu, Enlil, Utu, and Inanna for the Sumerians and Marduk

Mayan Architecture
Mayan architecture includes stepped pyramids from the Pre-Classic period. Other important constructions were ceremonial platforms, palaces, temples, ball game courts, and observatories. Main cities include Chichen Itza, known for its diverse architecture; Tikal, the capital of a powerful Mayan kingdom; and Uxmal, representative of Puuc architectural style.
Mayan
The Mayans originated in Central America, migrating from Asia during the last Ice Age. They had a complex religious system that involved sacrificing humans and animals to appease various gods. The Mayans developed an accurate calendar and understood astronomy, mapping the movements of celestial bodies. They built elaborate cities and pyramid temples precisely oriented based on astronomical observations. The Mayans also had an advanced mathematical system that included the concept of zero. Their art incorporated stone carvings, pottery, and paintings. A dangerous ball game called Pok-a-Tok was played for religious and political purposes, sometimes with the losers being sacrificed.
The mayans slideshow global pd.7
The Mayans were an influential ancient civilization in Central America that developed between 300-900AD. They had a complex social hierarchy and religion, and made significant achievements in agriculture, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. They invented rubber and created accurate calendars and paintings. However, their cities were eventually abandoned around 900AD possibly due to environmental factors like drought or disease.

History of Mesopotamia civiization Part 1
Mesopotamia, located in modern-day Iraq, was the site of some of the earliest human civilizations beginning around 4500 BC. The region, situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, saw the rise of urban centers and writing, key components of what we consider civilization. Early Mesopotamian societies developed systems of kingship, trade, religion centered around temples, and advances in technology including irrigation, numeracy, and the written word in cuneiform script. Despite challenges like unpredictable flooding and lack of natural resources, early Mesopotamian civilizations like the Sumerians thrived for thousands of years due to agricultural surpluses enabled by irrigation along the rivers.
Mayan Architecture
Mayan architecture includes stepped pyramids and temples used for religious ceremonies. Main constructions were ceremonial platforms, palaces, and ball courts. Key Mayan cities were Chichen Itza, known for its diverse architecture; Tikal, the capital of a powerful Mayan kingdom; and Uxmal, representative of Puuc architectural styles.
Mayan powerpoint
The Mayans lived in Central America south of Mexico between 5,000 years ago and the present. Their language was Mayan, though now most speak Spanish. The Mayan civilization had a complex social hierarchy and government led by priests and rulers. They built temples and structures from local resources like mud and wood. Daily life involved gender-specific roles where men farmed and hunted while women cooked and cared for the home.
Ancient Egyptian architecture
Ancient Egyptian architecture had some consistent characteristics. Massive stone structures like temples and tombs were favored after the Old Kingdom. Mud bricks were commonly used for houses while stone was used for more permanent religious buildings. Columns were designed to mimic plant structures and corner details replicated binding reeds. Funerary structures evolved from mastaba tombs to step pyramids like Zoser's and finally the iconic Great Pyramids at Giza, which marked a transition to rock-cut tombs in places like the Valley of the Kings. Temples followed a structured layout and carefully controlled light using columns, windows and shadow effects.
Greek Architecture
The document provides an overview of Greek architecture from the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods. It describes the three classical orders of architecture - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - and their characteristic elements. It also discusses various building types including temples, public buildings, and the importance of proportion and optics in Greek architectural design.

This document discusses extracting data from historical documents through crowdsourcing annotations on Wikisource. It describes a project to digitize the field notebooks of Junius Henderson, a early 20th century curator at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History. Volunteers helped transcribe and annotate the notebooks by adding images, text, and metadata templates on Wikisource. This allowed the data within the notebooks to be extracted and linked to other online resources. The project demonstrates how small incremental steps over many years, like initial scanning and transcription efforts, enabled the fully digitized, annotated, and data-linked version of the notebooks.

Web technologies & cultural communication
The document discusses how web technologies and cultural communication are changing how cultural institutions operate and engage with their audiences. It explores how the internet has led to cultural disintermediation by removing gatekeepers and giving more people a voice. Museums are shifting from being cathedrals that dictate authority to being more like town squares that facilitate participation and multiple voices. New forms of online engagement like crowdsourcing and user-generated content are becoming important strategies for cultural institutions.

Improving the troubled relationship between Scientists and Wikipedia
This document discusses improving the relationship between scientists and Wikipedia. It notes that Wikipedia often lacks basic biographical information about notable scientists. A Wikipedian in Residence program was established at the Royal Society to address this issue through edit-a-thons and releasing portraits and data under open licenses. This led to improved coverage of Fellows of the Royal Society on Wikipedia. The document advocates for expanding such programs to other scientific organizations to increase representation of scientists on Wikipedia.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
